For their specific task (ie running cable tv software) you can't get better than AGA. That's why any future Amiga must at least contain an AGA chipset as standard. But for 95% of real-life applications, AGA isn't better than an SVGA chipset, it's far far worse. With both chipsets you get the best system for 100% of real-life applications. Or do you want a computer that's only good for Scala, demo coders and the odd 2d game? Jolyon
