Need New System Advice!
« on: May 19, 2003, 08:12:04 AM »
Hey people! Im pretty new to this Amiga site, Nice to meet you all! I was an amiga user untill a couple of years ago when my trusty A2000 bit the dust! I am looking to get into a new system as PC is really starting to get to me. Any advice? I am from the UK and am looking at getting quite a high spec machine, i am also wondering about LAN Cable modems, can they be used? Sorry about my ignorance, i dont know a great deal about these new systems, damm i still have my A500+ :-) Any help or advice would be well appriciated, looking foreward to rejoining the Amiga community! Kevin :-P

Suppose the driver thing seems to make sence, so let me get this right. I can get a standard a1200 ( there is a dude in work who will sell me the NON hdd version for £30 so thats no problem, and upgrade it to hell and back and get a half decent system out of it? :-D

I got you, so they all start off the same and the additional processor is on the expanision card in the trapdoor.. right. What about a non HDD machine, can i put a hard disk in it? I think that the bloke in work with me selling the A1200 its a bog standard non HDD model as its been in his loft since day 1 really. Thanks!!! (Im getting there - its been a long time since i used this platform!) :-P

Cool, my mate owns a computer shop so those parts should not be a problem. What about browsing the internet? I have a cable modem, so i would need a LAN Connection.
