Curious fishy_fis. What if I got a PPC card 300 Mhz with 68060 @ 50 Mhz running instead. Is it worth it then? Does it make a very nice card allowing me running 68k and PPC at comfortable speed, even watching movies in my A1200 AGA or is it still not worth it?


You don't really want to watch movies on AGA, unless you enjoy watching them in grayscale. The 060 itself, I think, is enough for most tasks, especially if coupled with a graphicscard.

But as for running C64-software, if you want to emulate one with good accuracy you really need to do it on a fast PC (or a fast PPC-machine). The only good emulator on Amiga is Vice, and it won't run smooth on a classic Amiga, you really need a fast AOS4/MorphOS-machine to really enjoy it.
