The Super Nintendo processor speed is only around 3.5 Mhz.
The key to its awsome graphics of course is its very powerful
custom graphics chip(s).

With the Super Nintendo selling for under $100 these days,
you have to wonder why there can't be a PC graphics card with
similar capabilities for under $100 as well.
