1Ghz G4 = 2Ghz+ when it comes to processing power.

You gotta realize x86 is NOT all that good; it's slow, and unoptimized, meaning even though we have 1.7Ghz AMD CPU's and 2.xGhz Intel CPU's neither one is running at true Ghz speeds.

Also, if you did some research you'd find that Mac's have almost the same games, and same amount of games, that PC's do.

This reply is completely un-biased, as I am an AMD XP 2100+ (x86) PC user.

.....but i see it this way...a microprocessor is a microprocessor... the A1 boards will use AGP/PCI anyway...so why hinder things by useing PPC if PPC is going to be slower and cost more....


There you go again by saying it's slower, when in fact it's NOT slower. 500Mhz PPC = about 1Ghz 600Mhz PPC = about 1.2Ghz, and so on. :-)

Lets face it the amiga is a peace of junk. All you little amiga people ever talk about is how the amiga is so much better than pc’s. You people are always saying that windows is a bad os and stuff like that. But the truth is all amiga freaks run windows. I know this because there is no way in hell the amiga computers could ever have enough power to run a web browser. My little calculator can out render an amiga and go on the Internet at the same time. Why is it that when somebody makes fun of the amiga’s crapyness you always replay buy saying you don't understand the architecture. The truth is you people probably don't even know the architecture of your jelly donut.  


You're way off base, and way uneducated when it comes to Amiga!

Amiga's CAN do web browsing... there are several web browsers out, Amiga CAN play MP3's skip free, Amiga CAN render 3D, even render it in realtime... as good and better than PSX.

Hell, even the Commodore 64 can do the above, and it DOES... with a SuperCPU addon that plugs into the Commodore 64 exspansion slot in the back. :-)

So, until you know what you are talking about, keep your fingers "quiet".
