An A1200 accelerator to run Doom clones smoothly full screen.

Well.. if you are going to save up and get that expensive 060 board.. you might aswell get the ppc. thats an easy way to get RTG graphics later on. yes, I know they are even more expensive, rare, and prone to failure.. but I still wanted to point it out. Im a big fan of those. And ofcourse the ppc chip renders doom much faster than the 060 can, in higher resolutions, too. Just a thought.

will fit a standard a1200 desktop but certainly not recommended (cooling issues). see, its only the start of a much bigger investment. before you know it you'll be wanting a tower conversion, better PSU, cdrom/dvd, bigger harddisk, idefix/powerflyer, indivision, zorro slots etc.. so choose wisely

compatibility on the 68k side is ofcourse as good as any 060 accelerator. ppc-wise it will cause you quite a bit more trouble to set up all the software like warpos, warp3d, cybergraphx etc. but once its running you will love it. and it runs OS4.x, too..

I will be flamed for recommending this to you, so please make up your mind yourself its a big investment, which will give you lots in return, but you need to take a bigger risk, thats for sure.

In that case, definately stick with 68k. If all you want is play a game now and then, I would even recommend just getting a blizzard 1230/IV (50mhz), a very nice card that is almost able to run the mentioned FPS games fullscreen. Almost..

Ofcourse, games that require RTG graphics or PPC processor (Wipeout, Quake, Heretic II etc) wont run, but for that you probably have a pc or mac anyway.

060 generally runs much cooler than 040. unless you overclock it..
