Technoid, I can fully understand you.
That's why I still use my old Amiga when it's not about gaming or video-capturing. And guess what? There's an AmigaAMP that works well on a 68060/50, and there's a lame-port that manages encoding MP3's in more than realtime (roughly 1.4x) on a PPC604e/200 in quite decent quality, and there's a Web-browser that fits on ONE 1760KB (you know that strange Amiga format) floppy disk and is fast as hell on a 060, beating IE and Netscape and imho even Opera hands down in subjective speed - OK, this is without java and javascript
.
Fact is, there's no need to further optimize something on the PC when it runs acceptable on a PIII-500, so simply noone will do.
P.S.: If it makes you feel better, the 68060/PPC CPU card for the Amiga was much more expensive than a TBird 1400 costs now, so the PC market is not all bad...
