Speed
« on: November 04, 2005, 06:46:10 PM »
I've got an A1200 with an '030 accelerator. I've seen an '040 for sale on Ebay and was wondering whetherthe spped increase was all that significant. Should I hold out for an '060 or a PPC? (although I think the latter may be a wee bit too expensive.)

thanks for getting back to me. cool that's pretty impressive, shows that Mhz isn't everything. I may have to bid on it. I've finally got enough money to get the internet. I want broadband and so the modem will be attached to one of my PCs. Would I be able to browse the web on my Amiga if I get one of those ethernet cards and crossover cables that are available on Ebay? I know I'll need AmiTCP, MUI, a browser and a lot of patience but is there anything else?

Thankyou. The bit about power supplies has got me worried. I'm running it off my A500+ brick as I believe it's more powerful than the A1200 one. I have a hard drive, accelerator and external floppy running off it. How close to it's limit am I?

P.S I've been promoted from Too Much Caffeine to Technoid. Yaay!

Cool, what about if by some miracle I can get a cheap PPC. Will the brick be near breaking point?
