The exterior may be sleek but lurking inside

the Am iga CD32 is a technological wonder.

4 t it's heart is the mightily powerful

58EC020 processor from M otorola. This con

tains th e 32 - bit technology which has made

the Am iga 1200 a runaway success through

out Europe.

Alongside it is Com modore's unique custom

A.GA (Advanced Graphics Architecture)

:hipset - com prising three chips nicknamed

Paula, Lisa and Alice.

ro g e th e r they make A m iga CD32 and awe

some pow erhouse o f high speed graphics and

stunning sound capabilities.

In fact, the m achine can display 256,000

colours on screen (com pared to Sega's Mega

CD which can only display 64) and has a

total colour palette o f 16.8 m illion colours.

Amiga CD32 also comes w ith a chunky 2

Meg o f RA M (that's 15 tim es more than M ega

CD) and a double speed drive.
