Sigh.. and a Nintendo (the 8 bit machine) can outdo i think a 386 maybe
486.. thats simply because if you think about it.. the nintendo has a
lot less.. its a COMPLETELY (100%) dedicated machine.. none of the CPU
is tied up anywhere.. if you run one of those system monitiers on sys
resources, you'll notice that its not on a constant 100% CPU usage... if
it were, then it would blow all the game systems out of the water so
far...
but as it is.. I believe my p90 only averages 5-10 % usage..
I may be wrong..
