Amazing card, although I'd only be after the ability to have 256MB of fast RAM. I've decided if I do go PowerPC it'll be an Amiga NG.

Quote from: AmigaClassicRule;731832
People who own a PPC Amiga like AmigaOS 4.x in modern PPC motherboard like SAM 440 tell me there is no benefit in owning the system and that it is the same as MorphOS and at the end they sell it because they are not getting anything out of it. Much like a door stop. So to have a PPC in Amiga classic is worse actually...we are better off in a full blown 100% super duper 68k card instead like blizzard 1260 or apollo.

Didn't really like MorphOS, but would like to have/try an Amiga OS 4.x system. For about the same price as the Apollo 060 card you can pickup a NG system.

Benefit that I see is that you can do everything you could do on your A1200 but a lot faster ;-) I guess it doesn't have the same soul perhaps?

Then again I can do all that on my UAE box, which by looking at it appears to be a NG Amiga without the PowerPC side. You wouldn't know it was a PC.

Anyway getting OT :-)
