apollo vs blizzard vs gvp

[3246251196]

i need a 030. i see some good ones. i also see this:

 
GVP Amiga 1200 030 / 40 Accelerator + 4mb Ram & FPU

i have been told by a source that GVP is not the way to go for fears of it not being good to uprgrade.

how do you people feel?

[3246251196]

okay. point taken

thanks for the help

apollo is roughly equivalent to blizzard, also?

how about an Apollo 1220 board? anygood.

i know that the 1230 (030) is better to get. but what is this board like?

[3246251196]

there is one on amigakit. i would need to get the FPU too. i already have JUST enough memory for games and OS3.5/3.9

so the 1230 is nice and its recommended all over (the 1230 IV btw)

what about that 1220 i said (the apollo one)? no good?

[3246251196]

what type of Amiga user needs an FPU then?

thanks for reply, Patrik

so essentially you just need a board which will hold more memory and increase proc' speed to at least 30Mhz

those are the two main things to run 3.5 (3.9) and play retro amiga games...?

[3246251196]

great reply patrik. clears a lot up for me

i am thinking - these 030 acc's are going for so much now. i might just get a memory expansion card. i have 2*4Mb modules for my amiga.

keep with the std 020 + 10Mb (2Mb Chip) memory

what you think?

would it do the job ?

i really want a 030 accelerator card. i am just searching like mad to find one. found a few on eBay. i just hope i dont have to pay like 90£+. i dont really have the money!

thanks
