A1200T
« on: January 19, 2004, 06:59:30 PM »
Dudes... i am still completing my a1200T, it now has 040/28, 32mb ram, CDrom, HDD, PCMCIA NIC, Keyboard adaptor, SD, ATPSU, etc, but im still not happy with its performance. Is it better to sell it all and get an a4000 and put a GFX card in, or maybe get a Mediator or BPPC and Bvision?

Cheers

Kev

SO what sort of GFX card  do you recommend? I can go the Bvision route, but i dont really need a BPPC...

Mediator maybe and a voodoo?

Well i have a 10mbs NIC in my PCMCIA slot.. so 2 PCI cards would be ample :-)

Maybe this is an option after all..

Im also led to beleve that not using AGA GFX will also speed up the machine???

Yeah... well no not really. I only paid £25 for the a1200, £40 for the 040, £25 for the kbd adaptor, nothing for the tower and PSU, so i aint really on a looser here. Maybe i will get it all back up and running nice and flog the lot... dunno yet tho. My ideal setup is a nice amigaOne networked with my a1200T via my router, and on monitor,kbd,mouse on one of those switch boxes. Nice eh?

yeah, atm there is a 10mbps network card in the PCMCIA slot, and 32mb ram on the apollo 040 card, so thats OK.

I think im going to keep the a1200. Any more advice is well appriciated :-)
