You say you don't play games, but you don't say what you do do!  :-o

If you are doing graphics intensive work (web browsing, digital imaging, desktop publishing etc) then it would certainly be worth getting a graphics card, and a tower makes adding bits (ethernet card) easier & cheaper.

Although I have an 060, the graphics speedup was measurable over AGA by seconds!

I used to use a wireless PCMCIA card, but I get better connections by ethernet, so that is a nicer experience.

Plus, seeing a TrueColour Workbench is like an automatic car. Once you used it, you'll never go back  :-D

@ Wurzel

I have driven a few automatic cars, and never hope to have to again. Automatic cars are for people not capable of using gears properly


Lol, My thoughts too but I didn't want to upset him...  ;-)

LOL I'm not upset.

I was just trying to pick an analagy that transcended national boundaries  :idea:

Guess I picked the wrong one  :crazy:

And I don't drive an automatic car either :lol:
