Since games are not my focus, I could live with an A3000 with an '040 or '060.


Well besides games and demos there are  lots of reasons to have an AGA machine.

1. Faster bus of Advanced Graphics Architecture

2. Psuedo 24bit output of native RGB 15hz output for use for Genlocking/Video Framegrabbing/Animations

3. Makes amiga viable for blue/green screen, replay of digitized video in full frame full color, and other gfx purposes

4. Much easier to upgrade the machine

5. Much more availability of expansions even new hardware

6. The machine will look way "cooler" and more "modern"

I could go on and on... AGA all the way. Its not just for gaming and demoes
