I've seen three postings in this topic so far concerning "I'm going to
sell my Amiga and buy a 386" or "The A2000 is priced the same as this
286 clone"...
Well, I'd like to tell those considering buying an IBM about my setup:
I own both an Amiga 2000/HD which is accelerated in no way. I also own
a 386 clone with VGA and HD. Both have 3 megs of memory. Both have
2 floppies in addition to their HD's. The 386's clock speed is 16 MHz
as opposed to the Amiga's 7 MHz.
The Amiga unquestionably outperforms the 386. All tasks I run on both
are noticably slower on the 386. More importantly, they are more
*difficult* on the 386. Windows 3.0 is still kludgy, I don't care
what anyone says.
It's gotten to the point where I never use the 386. Every time I
run something on it, I think "My Amiga can do this better... Why
aren't I using it?" ...and I do.
I feel like I wasted the $2000 I paid for the 386. I'm just glad
I got a good deal and didn't pay more for this paperweight.
