 Why do we need PC's that run at 3ghz but the software being sold will run the same on a less than 1ghz system.
 

To run UT2003 (or any DirectX 8.1/9.X class games) (at least 1024 x 768 x 32bit res @ maximum details("holy $hit" mode)) with custom map "2019". 512MB of PC3200 DDR SDRAM is not enough. Installing 1GB of memory seems to fix** the occasional jerky frame rates (**due to reduction of VM access).

Has anyone mentioned the Ram disk as an amazingly useful
feature of the Amiga that a PeeCee just can't match ? . . .
 

Note that RAM disk feature can be access via WinUAE. Also note that Amiga is a PC, just not IBM PC/AT compatible (not factoring Amiga’s X86 emulators) .
