Why is Morphos much faster on 600 Mhz PPC cpu than WindowsXP on 3000 Mhz intel cpu?
Because you can not just look at the CPU power, you must count the whole system together to get a good speed.
Motherboard,cpu, harddrive and Operating system all this together can give you a system that is good enought for you!
Thats why I Bought AmigaOne
While I agree that a nice responsive operating system is good, and certainly one of my main reasons for advocating the Amigoid OS's. But you raelly can't just look at the responsivness of the OS as an indication of the "power" of the machine...
If you want to run software synthesizers (for example), then a 2Ghz CPU (G5, Athlon, P4, whatever) is going to work much better than a 600Mhz CPU.
I will put up with a bloated unresponsive OS, if it means that I have the number crunching power of a 2000 number crunching horses... :-)
