Can't you come up with something more original ? For the last time people, FAC originated on the C64 scene in 1984 and means 'Federation Against Copyright'. That some MSX-heads twisted it around in 'Federation Against Commodore' is their lame idea.

Wrong, the C64/C128 scene is still alive and kicking and is much bigger then the MSX scene was or will ever be. If someone wants to argue about this, please get your facts straight! There is still new quality C64/C128 hardware being developed, there are still paper and disk magazines, loads of active sceners and meetings (don't miss the upcomming RADWAR party!), and new and old software is being released almost every day!

Hmm.. there are several different CPU upgrades for a C64. I believe they are based on a 16bit 65816 of 4/8/20mhz and can access 16mb of memory (32mb using RamLink).

Actually, many C64 sceners hate Amiga (simply because it killed the C64). On the other hand, most Amiga sceners have a weak spot for it because they grew up with it, atleast in Europe. > A C64 freak couldn't speak of Amiga in this way.

I'm talking about a standard C64/MSX1/MSX2, excluding hardware upgrades.

Please re-read. Hmm.. I got the idea that you were refering to compare a TR with a AGA Amiga (A1200/A4000). I guess I misunderstood you, sorry.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but a TR is no match what so ever for a up- to-date A1200/A4000 equiped with a M68060/R604 and a graphics card.
