There are plenty of factors to consider when figuring the speed of a computer. The clock speed in MHz just tells how many cycles the CPU can go through in a second. One must also know just how much the CPU can get done in a single cycle. I think the 6502/65816 family can access memory in 1/4 the number of cycles as a 8088 or 68000 family chip. How much the CPU does in the computer makes a big difference. The Amiga has co's for everything. Sound, graphics, etc. I think as a GENERAL estimate the GS runs as fast as a 286 @ about 8 MHz. ________________________ _________________________ | ProLine: crew@pro-harvest | | Internet: crew@pro-harvest.cts.com | | UUCP: crash!pro-harvest!crew | | ARPA: crash!pro-harvest!crew@nosc.mil | |_______________ BITNET: crew%pro-harvest.cts.com@nosc.mil _________________|
