So in a search on google about a A600 , that i had in some years ago, i found this forum and i was surprised how amiga scene is strong! That make me hell happy! :-D . Im now thinking in adquiring an A1200 and put it in my network with internet, something that i thought years ago that were impossible ! I was watching the forum for online shops that could send stuff to portugal, but im so outdate that i dont know a thing now, about new stuff that walks around , well any advice is greatly welcome and nice to meet you all guys! Power on amiga!!! cheers! (BTW sorry my bad english)   :-P

It all depends on how far you want to go with your A1200 - at the top end, there are PowerPC accelerator cards and PCI expansion buses (can work out very expensive), but if you just want to play WHDload games, and use Workbench, a 68030 A1200 with hard drive is ideal.

My objective is to put my future amiga :-D as my "default" computer system. To everything , to code, playing games , internet , networking etc...

If you order OS3.9 you will also need a RAM expansion at least 4MB, or preferably an accelerator (68030 or more) with 16MB+ of RAM.  If you can get a Blizzard 1230 that would be ideal.

i think i made a mistake in ordering amigaos3.9 , i didnt knew about the ram expansion! He doesnt support it normally with the basic hardware?
thanks you all for the help mates, good community here! :-D

hi friends! Well today im going to order A1200 from AmigaKit's website since they have the option of the expansion card 8MB , then i should run OS3.9 with no problems i think  :-) , i think it's a good start to get used to amiga nowadays, since i was just used to work with workbench 3.1 on A600  :lol: Hope it arrives soon! hehe

Well about what pierre said, i understand your point of view, i have an Amd Athlon 64 3500+ 1gbDDR with 2 sata's samsung 160gb etc.. but amiga is different, yes it can take a bunch of time to get something "powerful" but it's always an amiga! I think it's the spirit!! cheers!

And again thanks all for your useful help here!
