You're right. It wasn't performance *gain* it was merely coming
back to parity with the PC world. Apple rode the 68000 bus to
the end of the line and Moto/IBM were unwilling to keep the line
alive just for Apple. It was amazing that Apple managed to keep
suppliers interested even that long with their small volume.

"capturing windows users"? Are you joking?
