System respond fast and I have 60Mb of RAM free, on 50Mhz CPU only (with some help of PPC cpu ofcourse).
On left side of Wb I also open small TV screen via my TVCard and watch some movie.
No freezing at all and I feel happy working on my sweet A4k every day.
I know that you can do same thing on PC/MAC, but why if my A4K do job just fine, without any problems, without waiting when I flip screens/programs.
Sadly, this is amiga forum, but nowhere I can see any amiga user?!?!
