I agree on the MHz thing, with the exception of games (and raytracing, but that's hardly a common use for the average person) why do you need 3Ghz? What can a 3GHz computer do, in real world everyday average use terms, that a 600MHz can't? (Aside from running Windows XP )
Exactly! In the wintel world there is this (as we all know) strange obsession about MHz ratings. And of course you would need a fast system to run a totally bloated OS as the WindowsXP really is.
Before I bought my Pegasos I hadn't come anywhere near the Amiga platform for a while. I was kind of used to the wintel way of thinking and I thought "well, it's a pity that the only option is a G3 @ 600MHz, that won't get me anywhere". But to tell the truth I don't really think I would notice any big differences between my current setup and a G4 at twice that MHz ratio. Not in the way I use computers anyway. The system can't more than fly. And it flies allready!
Of course, if I were heavily into 3D rendering or other heavy tasks, it would make a difference. but since I am more of a "normal" user it doesn't!
When it comes to games I believe that the same bloat factor applies again. On Windows you need fast extremely fast CPU's just to boot Windows. And then Windows steals a lot of resources just to keep on going. With a lean OS you will get the same experienced performance from a much lower performance CPU. And then very much is up to 3D HW and stuff like that anyway ...
