A4000 Upgrading .. Need advice

[beller]

The two best upgrades to your A4000, I think, are the Indivision for your display and the X-Surf 3cc for networking.  I've just upgraded to the Indivision and I was surprised how much faster web surfing was.  Seemed significantly snappier than prior to the upgrade when I was using an older ScanMagic scandoubler.  Also, the X-surf gives you two A1200 clockports which opens up other upgrade paths.  

While the X-Surf has the old connector it also supports the standard ethernet connection.

Oh, and make sure you've maxed the memory of the machine to a full 16 of fast ram...

Think of Indivision as your graphics card.  It goes up to a 24-bit display on a VGA monitor.  FBlit just shares the chip memory requirements with your 16 megs of fast ram.

There is another for the A1200 and i saw one that looks external .. The external if compatible with both A1200 and A4000 would be the best choice

Yes, that's the one.  Easy to install too!

The external scandoublers aren't even close to the quality of output you get from Indivision.  No comparison, and they aren't that much cheaper if you can find one.
