Assuming whatever you're trying to run doesn't use any custom chips, it should work fine. I've had trouble using any AGA screens, as the palletes seem to get scrambled, and the picture looks like it would after a bad acid trip.... I don't think UAE has any kind of sound emulation other than AHI, though I haven't played much with that. The 1200 you bought would be your best bet for all that. (I'm still using my 1200 as my primary computer, and just use my xp laptop as a dialing gateway over the LAN, and file conversions that win95+pc-task can't handle) Any proggies that are AHI and RTG compatible have a much better chance at running. Hope this helps!
