You can drive an old car really fast (perhaps even
faster than more
modern
cars). Old computers are slow-assed beasts.
I'm surprized at you. Many of those old slow machines were faster if byy
virtue
of not having four tonnes of nastiness grafted to them.
Then again, a NS* horizon with static ram and a 10mhz Z80 does get out of
its way.
I don't know that you'd necessarily be
hot-rodding them, unless of
course
you'd be boosting their abilities for better
graphics, sound, nice
joysticks, bigger displays, etc.
Feh, PCs are good gamers and all but if I want a good solid machine for
real work it may be far from my first choice. Better is relative. ;)
