Hiya mate, i appreciate the info, but looking at the cost of a ppc system, would you think i`d be better waiting, save the extra, and go for a g3 or g4 Amiga 1?

As i`m not to worried about software compatibility between classic os, or 4.0

Been away for abit, being a long distance trucker n all that, i do have a keyboard adaptor, 4 way buffered interface, fast seriel port, 1.74mb floopy dfo:, 8gig hd, 32sp cd rom, kick 3.1, os.3.9. 32meg fast ram, 2meg standard chip. Zoro iv back plane, as it`s an eyetech z4 tower.

So now all the comments have got me clearly confused, what is the cheapest way to fitting a graphics card, where from and how much, i`m not worried about going ppc, as i intende to get an Amiga 1, by this time next year.


Thanks for the input thoughguys, all youre data ia appreciated

This is similar to an earlier post.  If you have the A1200 towered up and you have a zorro IV backplane, then the cheapest and most effcetive way to go is to buy one of the DCE CV64/3d which work at all double speed to normal zorro2.  When people talk about the a4000 as a better option this only applies if you can get an upgraded A4000 cheaply.  A stock A4000 (even with a graphics card and the stock Commodore 040) will be slower than your towered A1200 system with a graphics card.  you probably have got a keyboard adaptor and an IDE splitter already and A1200 accelerators are cheaper and easier to get than for the A4000
