NeXTStep is quite responsive on a 16MB(<$600 > for an 16MB at the Chip Merchant). I thought that our long discussion It's a windowing-speed thing. No, the NeXTStep isn't as fast as the Amy's windowing system. The rest of the system is. But that's not what's important, and it's not what's being discussed. > There's more horsepower in the 68040 NeXT than a 68030 Amiga even with > the blitter. There's more horsepower in a 68040 Amiga than a 68040 NeXT... :D (Fusion-Forty... Actually, I'd like to hear a comparison of the F40 board for the 2000, supposedly the fastest 040 card for the 'miga, and the NeXT. It'd be informative. Anyone, anyone???) > Could you clarify what you mean by "no expansion?" The NeXTstation is > expandable to 32MB using 4MB SIMMS(will 16MB SIMMS be compatible with So is the Fusion Forty, which is why I'd like to see a comparison. :) Seriously. The... uh-oh, brain blackout. Whatever they call their Workbench/Finder thing, and the NeXTStep graphic interface in general, isn't as fast as a 'miga, and isn't as fast as a Mac (I don't think. I haven't had much use for my IIcx as of late, and don't want to mess with it if I don't have to. :) Greg -- Socrates: "I drank WHAT????" LMFAP: "Next time you see me, it won't be me."
