Re: Why accelerate an Amiga?

Hmmm well Ok, I use an Apollo Turbo MkIII 030/40 Mhz
This is not the fastest out there, but I run programs with more speed, and the extra Fastram on board the accelerator helps a lot.

With just 2 meg of Chipram I can not run OS3.9 so with 32meg of Fastram on the accelerator I can.
Ok to be fair I dont need an accelerator to get Fastram but with the aid of an accelerator it does help a lot.

With an accelerator I make use of an Mediator 6 slot PCI board to make use of PCI cards.

So in short with no accelerator you can only do a certain amount of things, with an accelerator you can do much more.
