BullShit.  Chunky and Planar both have good and bad points.  Chunky is
only "superior" because the CPU which has memblk copy instructions can
move gfx, w/o the need for a custom gfx co-processor.  Which (Oh My)
the Amiga line of computers have...

You have a funny way of showing it.  Above you make a blanket statement about
one graphic storage method making a machine "better equiped" to deal with
gfx than another.  Below you make a PROCESSOR comparision (68020 -vs- 80386)
based on gfx.

What do you mean by the above "do less" statement? (NOTE: I am being rhetorical)

>is why the CD32 has the Chunky to Planar chip. This way, the 020 writes

No, it makes porting Chunky graphics/algo. easier.  It has been shown
historically that developers are in a PC mindset and don't want to
learn the inside of a machine that won't produce "big bucks" for
them.  Ergo C= satifies both developers and users by allowing developers
to stay in their field of expertise while still producing kick-ass
game software for the Amiga.
