Is an RTG A2000 same as an RTG A4000?

Your friend will never ever be able to play Total Chaos AGA on an A2000.

An A2000 will always have slower chipram than an A1200 or A4000
Remember you still play sounds thru chipram using Paula's lovely voice

A2000 chipram will be 16-bit forever and ever.
A1200/A4000 chipram will be 32-bit forever and ever.

A2000 only has 1Meg chipram unless you buy a kindof expensive adapterboard thingamjig to increase it to 2MB.

A1200 / A4000 have 2MB chipram built in for free.

The zorro3 machines are quite a bit quicker than the zorro 2 machines. The 1200 is also full of bottlenecks compared to a A4000 even with mediator.

the 4000 makes the most sense.

You are making me feel sad that I gave away my A4000/040  :cry:

Very true. This is especially bad with the CV64/3D, which I dicovered does at best only ~2 MB/s over Z2 (bustest). The Picasso IV handles Z2 much better (full 3.5 MB/s), really the only way to go if you must have a loaded 2000.

My A1200 with Mediator gets 9MB/s with bustest.
