Best Amiga to "Modernize"?
« on: July 29, 2008, 03:59:31 PM »
Hey all, looking to build up an amiga, would like to be able to play older games as well as bring it "Up to speed" and atleast run 3.1 or 3.9 quickly enough to browse the web, email, dtp, word processing, etc.  

I currently have a NOS Amiga 2000 still New in the box, and an amiga 1200 tore apart, it had a mouse problem I recently figured out.  The amiga 1200 is missing various screws etc from being passed around dissassembled, but all the main components are there, floppy, mb, power supply (Actually from a 500 but it works) etc.

My question is, which of these are better for what I want to do?  How important is AGA?  I will likely want an RTG card in either case.  So does AGA really matter?

Or am I better off with a 3000 or 4000?  I could always ebay these and buy one of those with the proceeds?  

I guess, if you had it all to do over, what would be the best starting point?  What has the most "Available" upgrades?

I agree!  I expected like an overwhelming "1200" or 2000 or etc, but I see there are many colors in the amiga rainbow!
