Get your facts right.
    1. The ST and Amiga both have 68000.  This is a very different story 
       than a 68000 emulating a 6502.

    2. An Amiga can be expanded up to 8 megabytes without too much troble
       just expensive.

    3. The amiga low resolution is 320x200 32 color.

I own both machines.  I like the ST better, but I see no reason why a 1Meg
Amiga couldn't emulate a  ST at 1/2 speed.
