Congrats! An 060 is a very nice upgrade for the
'oldskool' Amiga. SysSpeed and P96Speed are both
good benchmarkers.

And Carls is right, FBlit is a must. You may also
want to try (in conjunction) FText (renders text
in fastram as well).

Results from P96Speed:

'PutText' without FText: 582  op/s

'PutText' with    FText: 1629 op/s

@Xyth

You can still get Blizard 1260's from many
retailers.

Blizzard advantages:

Solid build quality

SCSI add-on unit (which also has an extra SIMM
slot)

You can use Blizkick (the BEST rom re-kicker ever)

Disadvantages:

A little more expensive

SCSI kit still available, but not easy to find


Best bet for a rom kicker utility on this new
board may be RemApollo...or better yet
MuFastRom from Thor's package *should* work.
