So why is my old&slow A1200T 040/25+603e 240 Mhz ppc+bvision,128 MB fast&lot's more still outprefroming a vast majority of th pc's ?
Amiga OS is very efficient!
I am playing an mp3,running Q2 in window mode, typing this message,mailing,online on icq and irc and downloading files with 85 Kb/sec (my ADSL connection is pretty slow only 768 k/bit bandwidth)
My WB has a very graphical config (1152*900*16) i use visual pref's,MUI,Magic menu,birdie,Caboom,reqattack and whatever i installed to let my wb look and work great.
I skinned every part i could with jpeg's,gif's etc.. and everything is still running smooth, even better i hardly notice all these app's&progs running :-D And still more then enough free mem (about 50 MB) with all this stuff running at the same time.
PC using Friends are always totally stunned when they see my miggy in action.
And then i give em a load of my CSPPC A4000 and then they are silent and totally confused how such an old machine can be so fast with so little hardware (it boots in 5.5 sec's on pfs 3 :-D )
The only time my Amiga's has to give in to modern pc's is when it comes down to raw cpu power.
So if hyperion does a real good job i think an Next gen Amiga will blow a pc out of the water only due to the fact that Amiga OS extremely efficient also coz multiprocessing is very sucky on the x86 platform.
What i also notice is that lot's of Amiga users never seen/used a well configured PPC Amiga.
