Best place to learn all the hardware options for an A1200/A500+
« on: January 26, 2006, 10:58:53 PM »
Since I am in the market for either an A1200 or A500, where do I go to find out what it is I need to run all the latest software. I hear all about Hard drives, accelerator cards, and RAM upgrades, but how do I find out what it is I really need to have an enjoyable Amiga experience?

I am really leaning towards an A500+ with max options (due to price and entry level), but an A1200 would be nice as long as I know what it is to look for. How do I know I am buying good options? How do I know what is a good price on the equipment. What is a range I should be spending to get such equipment?

Thanks!
Fred :-D

Looks like I am back to getting an A3000 for overall more usage then just a pure games machine. What it the RTG (?) all about?
