Finding ZIP chips

@scumble:

A500-accelerators are definately not a waste, they will make your old A500 fly compared to stock performance. Almost all accelerators (GVP included) have onboard 32-bit fastmem and will only utilize the 16-bit bus for accessing motherboard resources such as chipmem and thus the cpu-performance wont suffer.

@scumble:

The graphical performance of the chipset is ofcourse the same. Though keep in mind that when using something that requires some cpu performance such as the Workbench or a flight-simulator it is not the performance of the chipset that is holding it back and making it feel slow, it is the performance of the cpu. As I said earlier, it literaly flies when using an accelerator, especially when using the Workbench - take my word for it. If you yet havent tried out an accelerated Amiga, it is something you need to write down on your "todo-list" :=).
