err, no! PPC sits side by side with the 040 or 060 chip qhich replaces the
020 on the motherboard (or the 030 or 040 in the A3/4k) but it doesnt do a
single thing to the gfx. so if you've still got AGA yuor Amiga is still
limited to cycle-chomping 8Mb/s AGA bandwidth for gfx/sound . Ie the same
sort of problems that stop you playing high-framerate 3D games and 16bit
gfx.
