Apollo 1240 is waaaaay better than A3640.
I did extensive timing tests many years ago to determine the maximum framerate for my game.

The A3640 has a design flaw that makes it access memory very slowly.

The Apollo 1240 is super fast at accessing memory.

Both are very hot and need a heat sink.
Wanna try a wonderfull strategy game with lots of handdrawn anims,
Magic Spells and Monsters, Incredible playability and lastability,
English speech, etc. Total Chaos AGA

Apollo 1240 = Not designed by Dave Haynie = superfast

A3640 = designed by Dave Haynie = dog slow

The choice is yours.
