Hello

I'm thinking of building an Athlon XP based x86 computer. I want to be able to run Amithlon and/or Amiga Forever. I'd like to pick the brains of you all here if I could.

1. What sort of spec do I need for Amithlon (i'm looking at like a 1.7ghz Athlon CPu with ASUS Motherboard and Radeon 9000 gfx card) do I need to use Nvidia cards or something? What compatiblity is there?

2. I'm looking at Amiga Forever - how is the latest version? Can I run Graphics PUblisher from the Turbo Print package and print? Also will programs like Pixel Pro work?

3. Any other feedback/suggestions is appreciated. Thank you

I'm also debating going XP or Win2k...

I run WinUAE on my 3Ghz Laptop with a Radeon 9000 Gfx chip and WinXP. It is able to emulate an 040 CPU and Full AGA with sound (no glitches or stutters) perfectly, and much faster than any real hardware.

My old 600Mhz Athlon is able to emulate the above at least as fast as a real Amiga, but the sound glitches.

i was just about to post the same question! :-)

i work with a pc (1GB ram, p4 2.8, ati radeon 9600,bla, bla, bla).

Does anyone think it's better to run WinUAE on this PC, or do go and upgrade my plain a1200?

i was thinking in purchasing an acellarator board for it, but i don´t know if it is worth the money.

haven´t tried WinUAE, though...

Just run WinUAE. Don't bother getting an acellarator.
