I just opened a few windows on the PC's desktop in windows and moved
things around. Did the same thing on the Amiga. The Amiga won. The
redraw on the PC was pretty good, but I could see it redrawing each
section when moving windows over other windows. Those operations on the
Amiga were quicker. The PC lost this round.
This brings up a good point though….It takes a really high powered card
to bring the PC close to the Amiga. I'm sure that in a while with things
like local bus the PC will be faster….but what platform isn't faster if
you keep throwing money and hardware at it? The Amiga stacks up pretty
darn well, I'd say.
