In reply to Comment 6 (Kenny):
> It would appear that we have all accepted defeat and are
> going away with our tails between our legs, and a PCI card.
The Amiga has been defeated you moron. Try actually opening
your eyes for one second will you? Your argument is nothing
more than "A PC can play Quake 3 in 1024x768 32Bit at 60fps
but my good old Amiga with it`s ancient hardware, hacked
overexpensive expansions, rediculously slow graphics and
processor is better because its more elegant" FOR $*^&"
&^"$!%s SAKE WAKE UP! PPC expansions for the Amiga are
based on kludged, messy solutions and every, single
graphics card that has been available in the last 7 or 8
years has been based on PC graphics cards - directly or
indirectly- with kludged PCI-Zorro bridge logic and a
50% markup. That wouldn`t matter much if it wasn`t for
the fact that we are talking about OLD PC graphics cards.
Hell, things like the PIV ceased production simply
because the chips they used were so old they were no
longer made! The BVision has a fill rate lower than a
VooDoo1, it`s pathetic! The ONLY reason I can see for
continuing to use the Amiga is the OS. The hardware,
from start to finish, is a joke these days.
> The only viable argument is that PCI cards are cheaper.
And they give access to hardware that is remotely
new. But of course you won`t want that because it
might upset your fragile view of the Amiga`s
superiority..
> So would someone please convince me that PCI is better,
> because I cant understand how it could possibly be.
No, I won`t even try. You have already made up your
mind and there is no chance you will have it changed
by something as prosaic as facts.
