060 speeds up whole system. If you have Indivision for example and want to run HighGFX modes, they will be faster with 060.



I wasn't aware that 060 would have much influence on graphics operations on AGA. Does the HighGFX mode use the CPU significantly?

I have 060 system below and a Blizzard 030 1200 system that both use native AGA. In day to day use of OS3.9 there is little difference. The 060 comes into it's own when running CPU thrashing code though. In my estimation twice as fast as an 040. And 040 is about four times as fast as 030.

With an 060 and FBlit installed the whole Workbench experience is a joy to use, everything is much faster & smoother... :)


I admit I'm not using FBlit. That's something to do over the silly season then )
