but I'll probably buy one. Do the old VooDoo cards have VGA out? It depends on if I can find a VGA out or Monitor cheaper.


Whoa. Slow down dude. :) You won't be able to use a VooDoo card in the 2000 without some sort of bus adapter (there are several, but I can't think of their names off the top of my head). No Amiga thus far has either AGP or PCI slots. The 2000 should have several Zorro (II?) slots and I think two video slots. Unfortunately (at least now-a-days), these are not standard video slots. I agree with the poster above who recommended trying to get a 1200/3000/4000 instead of the 2000. The 2000 is a good machine - built like a tank - but for what it sounds like you're going to do, it's going to cost you more in add-ons than it would be worth.

===============================================

I did some looking around and found some prospects for you:

4000

3000

Another 3000

1200 Bare in mind that I think you'll run into the same monitor issue with a 1200 that you would with a 2000.

Here's a 1084 monitor that you could use with the 2000.
