ACA card speeds
« on: December 03, 2012, 11:53:19 PM »
ACA 1230 @ 42Mhz 64MB = 9.36 Mips
ACA 1231 @ 42Mhz 64MB = 9.98 Mips
ACA 1232 @ 33Mhz 128MB = 7.89 Mips

Eyeing up a ACA 1230 ATM but think for 9 euro more I can pickup a ACA 1232 (non MMU). Which is fin as the ACA 1230 doesn't have an MMU ;-)

Just wanting to know of other people out there and what they've experience in real everyday use?

Thanks for the reply Nova, have been checking out a few youtube clips of yours :-)

Very impressed with what a 68030. KInd of got me started into looking for an ACA card.

Have eliminated the ACA 1232.. just weighing up between the ACA 1230 and 1231... 1231 seems to have the edge but not much in it :-)

Guessing nobody wants to part with their 56Mhz version, 12+ Mips seems nice :-) I can see me using the A1200 daily with a faster card. Missed out on a 68040, and the 68060's are out of my price range but for an all round card an ACA card will be great :-)

Hehehe

25Mhz 040 = 25 MIPS

That's crazy numbers. Would be ample for what I need. However finding a 68040 is the fun part.

Was looking at a 68060 card on amibay for $500 USD, but don't want to spend that much. Was thinking half that :-)

Unless I sell my Indi ECS which I no longer need. then I could go a little higher :-)

Bought a ACA 1231/42, just have to wait for it's arrival. Appears to be the best value.

Not sure why Amigakit isn't selling them so went through Vesalia. Looked at the ACA 1232, more RAM but slower.

Interesting to see some actual benchmarks being posted. Took some digging to find information about the ACA 1230.

I noticed with the ACA 1230 it has a removable CPU (without soldering), that could be interesting ;-)
