I'm looking at buying TWGS for my GS, and I want to know what the highest
speed processor that it uses is, and also if anyone knows about what the
highest speed 65816 available is and how that speed compares with say a 25 MHz
80386 computer.

As for comparing one with an 80386, FORGET it. They arent even in the same class. An 80386 is a 32 bit processor, the 65816 is CALLED a 16 bit, but I see it as more of a hacked together 8 bit that looks like a 16 bit. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ !
