The '060 is a superscalar CISC/RISC hybred available in clock speeds up to 50MHz. A 68060/50 is 20..30% faster than a Pentium 90. In tests comparing a P90 running Windows95 against a 68060/50 Amiga, the Amiga often more than doubled the performance of the PC. Much of this is due to the superior design of AmigaDOS/Intuition over Windows95... ` Boot time: Win95 (3 small user-specific programs) 00:53 Amiga (32 user-specific, 57 tasks total) 00:22 Non-stop scrolling through 520Kb of text: Win95 2:18 Amiga 1:48 Similar ratios for various text editing functions (CygnusEditor vs UltraEdit-32 v4.10) Since CygnusEditor doesn't support sort-block, it was necessary to use an AREXX script to cut/save-to-file/sort-temp- file/re-insert. It still beat the PC by 50%. But this is all -way- off topic for a FreeBSD mailing list... -Pat
