Yep the Atari ST hardware is not as good as the Amiga's. It may have a blitter, but not all of them. Also its blitter is not as complex as the Amiga's. Ohya but its sound chip is supposely a tad bit better with that PCM (Pulse Coded Modulation). But still the Amiga is practically the same, and the Amiga is alot bigger! Hmmm yep I bought the Amiga for the same reason HARDWARE! Those custom chips and at that price! I did not buy the Amiga for the OS! I heard it could multitask and that was good enough for me...heh whatever! But personally CBM should of revised the custom chips alot more when they introduced the A3000. Which was a stupid mistake on behalf of CBM! They should of totally upgraded them. Like a faster blitter, better sound, more colors..ect I bet if they did that they would see alot more people going Amiga! Personally the only reason I would buy the A3000 is cuz of its expansion bus slot, its look, and haveing upto 2megs of chip ram, which could of been put to better use! Like try haveing 24-bit graphics built right in! All that does is make money for other companies... bah..heh A.t.
