Hi,
Just a roundup of the CPUs over the years that you loved or hated for whatever reason.
Hate: 8mhz 68000
It didn't have enough power to show off the Amigas awesome operating system.
Love: 68030
Gave you enough power for flight sims, racing sims and multitasking in the OS. Plus very backwards compatible.
Hate: 68040
Ran hot and the speed up was choked by the Amiga chipset. Although math operations were a lot faster. Not as backwards compatible
Love: Celerons with on die cache.
First time that gamers had an affordable CPU.
Love: PowerPC G3
A fast processor for a Mac or Amiga. I haven't had any software to push its limits though.
Like: the Pentium M/Pentium D
Put an end to the gigahertz war and its 2MB cache gave it awesome performance.
Hate: Current dual-core/quad core cpus that give you no noticeable performance increase. Better off spending your money on faster graphics cards and faster hard drives.
