Maybe always, but PC will resample at 44100, Amiga at 3546895. So less on one side.
This has nothing to do with nyquist theorem. You test uses 1/100th of sampling frequency, not 1/2.

I've read that the real reason why IBM picked 8088 rather than 68000 is because the 68000 wasn't ready at the time. If a cpu isn't on the market yet, you can't use it.
