I still use My Ataris... Admittedly, not the ST, because the resolution is too poor for todays world, but certainly the TT and the Falcon get used every day.

Even my best most powerful PC is no better than the Falcon on most things, so I use that more than the PC.

Ha ha. Spoken like a true Atarian. ;-) I still own the real hardware but use it rarely. I can do a lot through emulation. Recently just acquired over 12GBs worth of software specifically so I can play around with it. I am also discovering the dark side at the moment via the Amiga emulator because I never owned one. It's allowed me to play games like Walker, that were never released on the ST. Can't been a session of Moonshine Racers though.

I have noticed it going backwards!

We seemed to almost hit 4Ghz ... My own highest clocking stock CP{U was the prescott 660 which was 3.6Ghz, I know of a 3.8Ghz CPU but no higher ( Not stock I mean ) and then my next CPU after that was half its speed...

By this time next year we will all be striving to get as little Mhz as possible... Taking the mickey out of people with all those unwanted extra Mhz!!!

No?

Oh, oh well then LOL

These days its less about clock speed and more about work done per clock cycle and how many parallel threads can be squeezed in at the same time. For internet use I still find my old Thinkpad, a 1.6Ghz Pentium M Banias perfectly up to the job. It is just when it comes to gaming or specific jobs like encoding I need a faster processor.
