What CPU is your Amiga running on?

As the title says, what CPU is your MAIN Amiga running on ?

[dougal]

My A1200 has a 68060 blizzard 1260/50. The rest of my miggies are stock

At the time of this post it would seem the 030 and 060 are running equal.

Yes i noticed that. Either there are a lot of 060 users or else a lot of users with 00 or 020 cpu's who can't be bothered to answer.

Of course. Why even list Macintosh computers in a poll about Amiga computers? Same can be said for things like the SAM. It seems that some people don't know what Amiga computers are.

Personally i agree with you. In my opinion the only real Amiga's are the A1000,A500/+,A600,A2000/2500/1500,A3000/T,A4000/T,A1200,CD32 and technically the CDTV.

I personally think the SAM is a total rip off and is not an Amiga, just an over priced PPC motherboard that can run OS4.X. And MorphOS machines are G4 Macs supposed to run Mac OS, but there are lots of people who use these systems as their main "Amiga". Others use X86 PC's and use emulation etc..  Me, i do have a G4 Mac with MorphOS (registered) but i have no interest at all in the OS and never use it.

I have my aca 1230 @ 28mhz 64mb ram and I couldn't be happier (well yes I could if I had the 56mhz version)

Ahhh I wanted one of those (56Mhz) or even better a Blizzy 1230MKIV and somehow i ended up getting a Blizz 1260 :O

Back to the topic at hand, does an 060 confer much benefit to web browsing or is this more a limitation of ram than mhz?

I don't web browse with the Amiga though i did when i had my A4000T. The 060 should help quite a lot i imagine though i stand to be corrected.

Back when i had my A4KT which had a CSII 060/50 the huge difference including for web browsing came when i equipped it with a Picasso IV. The high screen resolution, 24bit 16 million colors and super fast graphics made using a 68K Amiga amazing.

Yes dougal, you got an 060 and then started this poll :roflmao:

Have you tried going online with it yet?

I thought you were going to send it to me so I could conduct some (longterm) tests

I have not tried going online yet but i might do this week.

Haha i did Got curious how many others have 060 amigas.

I would send it to you for tests but i accidentally glued it to my a1200 and then glued the trap door cover shut and then nailed the a1200 to the table. LOL!!

Maybe its just me but I would take an aca 1230 @ 56 over a blizzard iv any day!

Well the aca 1230/56 does have a higher clock than the blizzard 1230iv and i guess it is slightly faster. Maybe its just nostalgia since in the past i've had 2 blizzard 1230iv and regretted selling them.

Sorry, but while in this poll I can see an option for Mac things, I can't find any entry either for "Atom" or "Athlon64 X2" which are the processors I use on my dedicated AROS boxes, or at least for "x86" family which would cover all - and not only for AROS, but for UAE too.

I tried to edit the poll to add them but can't.
