I'm running System 7 on a Quadra 950 (68040 @33mhz) and it is definitely
faster than my old 1040ST with rainbow TOS. :-)

I also run OS/2 on my 486 box and it is also faster than my old
1040ST by a long shot.

I'll be honest with you, I've never used a TT or Falcon, but I
cannot imagine that either surpases current Mac/PC clone speed.
Unless an Atari computer can beat the current PC/Mac lock on
price/performance, they are just toys.

Cheers,

Chris
