Looking at the mess of various accelerator cards that were made for amigas. I see some 040's clocked at lower speeds than some 030 cards. Would there be any gain to an 040 in that case, or is it better to just go for the higher mhz ?
I will try to answer as best as i can.
However, i would like to know what you are going to use the computer for...
I have a blizz 040 and a close friend of mine has a blizz 030.
(we have same amount of fastram)
In pure figures the 030 gives close to 7 or 8000 points in sysinfo.
while the 040 gives just over 14000 points.
(if i remember correctly. it has been a while since last time i powered up my A1200)
The 040 is faster, and generally the experience feels a lot crispier.
But like stated of others, the 040 gets HOT...
If speed is what you need. go for a 060. give a damn about 040.
In most cases a 030 (@50) will suit most applications.
And a 030 will almost always be cheaper.
I have a 030 50 in my a 500. and it is a blast to play around with.
Just make sure you get as much fastram as possible...
