If you use the A2000 for the software it was originally designed for (ie Deluxe Paint, Deluxe Music, ProWrite, Games), it will be fine. If you can get an accelerator (A2630, GVP, etc...), you could do Raytracing, Desktop Publishing and Desktop Video. You could also install WHDLoad which lets you run games off your hard drive. I have an A2500 (which is an A2000 with the A2630 option: 68030 processor and 4 MB 32-bit Fast RAM), GVP HD controller with 4 MB 16-bit Fast RAM) and a A2320 Amber card (which allows me to use modern VGA monitors. I replaced the original 52 MB hard drive with a 4 GB hard drive from a dead server not too long ago. It has the ECS Paula (1 MB Chip RAM), but an OCS Denise. I removed the clock battery when it started to leak. I also added a SCSI CD-ROM drive to it. It's kind of like a Resto-MOD computer (restored, but with some updated components). It's a 6.2 rev motherboard which makes it easy to convert to PAL mode (great for games) if I want to. I run it about once a week or so just to get that old Amiga magic feeling. But for the main program I use (Deluxe Music), I use WinUAE (the screen redraw is a lot faster with Picasso mode). Still a lot more fun than the Windows machines I have to deal with at work.
