whdload is also much better with a 1260 :)


Really? Then I must have missed out on something! I've had way much more trouble with WHDLoad games since I upgraded to Blizzard 1260 (previously had a Blizzard 1230). Not only did MANY games stop running like they should with the NTSC tooltype active, but also many slaves, at least at the time (It has gotten better by now, and will get better in the future aswell, but anyways), weren't really written with the 060 in mind.

I can't think of many games at all, besides the 3D ones, which really benefits from the 060. So, please, it would be great to know why a 060 is so much better to use together with WHDLoad?

Is $250 USD a good price for a Blizzard 1230 MK4?


No, with those money you can get a Blizzard 1260. You shouldn't have to pay more than $70 - $100 to get hold of a BLizzard 1230 MKIV. Above that is expensive.
