Thanks for the replies Im torn between getting another 1200 and just getting the emulator im running XP a P® 3.4 GHz with 2 GB ram should be enough to do it I think. To emulate the Amiga well?
But how well does it work? Can I get the old stuff to punch up on it like the 10k demos and AGA stuff and meds and Mod.s
Im really a file junkie does Fred fish live on and can I still get stuff
The reason is im not sure I would use the another computer as much as this one and my wife wont want the clutter
A Pentium 4 @ 3400 will emulate an Amiga that runs faster than any real Amiga ever made. WinUAE pretty much runs everything, there are only a few things that don't work well with it and that list is getting shorter everytime a new version comes out (about every month or so). Games and demos all run pretty good.
One of the best sources for Amiga software still is
Aminet. Fred Fish stopped with his fishdisks somewhere mid-90s but they are still available on Aminet as well. Fred himself unfortunately died last year.
IMHO, a real Amiga gives a better 'feeling', but a modern pc running WinUAE does pretty much everything Amiga, and fast as well.
