Expect to pay around a 170 pound from ebay that is what a blizzard ppc 160mhz ppc with a 25mhz 040 with blizzard vision graphics card went for.Even an 060 fetches more than a 130 pound on ebay .most of the time mine uses the 040 only some software uses the ppc .1024x768 workbench with 16 bit resolution is nice and faster than aga graphics and art programs are great on this i would sell mine if i thought an a1 could run my old ppc software but from what i have heard it wont.it is worth it if you can find one try amibench much cheaper i doubt one would be that cheap though .i got acyberstorm 060 +scusi controller and 82 meg of memory for 70 pound including postage for an a4000 .Same thing on ebay went fo 155 pound. :-)  :-D
I once had an amigaone xe but sold it .

I kind of/sort of agree with most of the statements here...but I will point out, that while AGA is too slow to be acceptable...that when you get the mediator installed with the graphics card, don't forget it will allow you a high res workbench, but you may discover the overall system is still slow.


my ppc + blizzard updates fast even icons updating .and i always used 1024x768 80hz. :-)  :-D
