Responsiveness is more of a function of the OS then the hardware, Amiga

What is really mind blowing is the load you can
put on something like
an SGI O2 w/180Mhz R5000PC
Seconded. Octane (ESSI, R12k 300 MHz, 2 GB RAM) in my
case. At the
moment I use some PeeCee crap with dual P III 800 MHz. The PeeCee has a
lot more CPU power, but the Octane is still more responsive under load.
Unfortunately the Octane consumes about 5 (fife) times more electical
power then the PeeCee...
