Try a few good AGA games like Banshee or Shadow Fighter.Or check how much faster most vector games like flight sims go, strategy games too like Civ. Also, try working with some programs on a 256 colors wb screen and then try them on an ecs machine. You'll see the difference then - that's of course unless you've got a gfx card on your ecs machine. If not, well...then I can't help you much.
