A3000 or A4000?
« on: October 28, 2005, 02:02:34 PM »
The title says it all really :-)

I like the fact that the A3000 has SCSI built in and a flicker fixer.

Which one should I choose? Also, which graphics cards do you recommend?

It's just the flicker fixer and SCSI that I'm being sold on. Lack of AGA is a pain, but who cares if you're using a graphics card? :-)

I want it for playing games and programming (mainly MUI / Workbench stuff).

I was thinking about getting a new PPC Amiga or Pegasos, but I don't like the current A1 hardware, and the Pegasos just doesn't have the same look or feel as a classic Amiga.

I have a PC as well which is my main computer (with WinUAE + OS3.9 :-)), plus an A1200, and an A500. I want a big box Amiga just for the expandability etc.

I gathered that much. Most of my games are A500 games anyhow.

I'd really like to get both :-)

Take the 3000. It's an adventurers computer.


What a great way of describing it! I'm sold :-)

Thanks for all the replies. I'm going to hold off buying a new (old? :-)) Amiga for now, until I have some more money. I'm still leaning towards the A3000.
