Btw,why whine about the prices,after you use the thing 5 years it will be worth the same or more assuming you take care of it.PC clone hardware depreciates the minute you look at it.consider it a good investment.

lets not forget the price on that apple 1 :)


i wouldn't be so sure about it. yes there will probably be less of them, but the number of potential buyers will decline too. would your kids pay so much for Amiga hardware?
and as time goes by, chances are the board will break. due to wear and tear, caps and stuff.
that apple 1 is much simpler and can last longer, i think.

after all, there is not really anything that cheap pc cannot do and that card can. surely in few years there will be amiga_ppc emulator built in uae.
this reminds me of "Tulip mania".

still, if I had money to burn, I'd go for it.
Better sorry than worry.

Blizzard PPC card is not as slow as most of you think.

with the right modifcation the card is right up there just out performing a Cyberstorm 200Mhz and not far behind a 233Mhz Cyberstorm PPC.

as it stands at the moment my Blizzard/Bvision combo should out perform  Cyberstorm/Cybervision combo in *2 & 3D only* (GFX) regardless if the Cyberstorm CPU is 400Mhz.


and by 'right modification' you mean overclocking or replacing CPU?
its prolly better to spend ($)$$$ on that cyberstorm than waste time and get a dead bppc in end.
or just forget about it and be happy with what you have.
Better sorry than worry.
