There is no upper limit to size & more pixels means better fidelity to
letterforms and therefore better legibility, not worse. Ask a
typographer anything.

Well, the native memory, and peripherals, yeah sure, that was still
"slow."
(but still adequate). Most every accelerator board available for
Amiga had
it's own dedicated on-board memory and SCSI adapter for faster IO
where it
really mattered most. The other major thing being graphics adapters ran
better on the 3000 and 4000 since those had 32-bit busses (and with
higher
speed and burst modes available), so they kinda sorta planned on people
putting faster processors on those than what they were shipped with
(and in
some cases didn't have a CPU on the motherboard even).
Not sure about the Apple front.
Well I know, you get the wrong chipset and nothing got suported
for the PC. Ben.

dancing toasters. BRING BACK 640x480. I can READ the SCREEN.
