Returning to the fold

[PMC]

After about 18 months of almost exclusive WinAMD usage (except for sporadic use of UAE) my PC died in quite strange circumstances last week when it crashed during an XP reinstall and now stubbornly refuses to even display a BIOS menu.

So I therefore dug out my trusty old A1200 system and plugged it in, expecting a shower of sparks after the last time when the '040's chip fan detached itself...

It worked!  

I've deleted my Workbench partition and have reinstalled the OS from scratch.  After endless pfaffing with installign my Voodoo card (curses Elbox!) my Amiga is now running steady as a rock in glorious 16bit colour.

Wahoo!

Cool,

(shame about the winuae machine though)

Well the WinUAE machine suffered from relentless virus/spyware attacks, hassles with installing games and lack of end user knowledge (ie, I buggered it up!).

I'd love to have the PC's performance but with an OS (preferably Amiga) and web browser that are sufficiently niche to avoid the unwanted attentions of the malware fraternity.

Yes it is an ATI card....?

Thanks guys, I did remove the card for a while with no success.  I guess it's a new Mobo then....
