When is an FPU chip really needed????

[barney]

Hello, I have an Amiga 1200 with an accelerator board.   Do I necessarily need the FPU chip installed?  How often and why is it really needed?  Will I see a difference in every days gaming?  Just wondering whether this was a necessary upgrade or not.

Thanks.

Thanks for the info everybody.  I guess I really don't need one after all.
