Come  on guys... if you want to run AFA on classic hardware, buy a PCI busboard and put your A1200 in a tower.. or get a BVision. Asking bernd to get AFA running flawless on a stock A1200 is a pretty ridiculous request!! :P Even with an '060, 256 color AGA modes are slow as hell.

I answered NO in the poll BUT after using my 1200 for the past few months for more than just gaming, I am building out a 4000T system with an RTG and all the goodies.  I am looking forward to driving my LCD monitor at it's native 1280x1024 resolution so that fonts don't look blurry, etc.  I have been using the 1200 with the Indivision AGA with only 32 colors and even things like scrolling text is pretty slow.  Back in the day when I used to program with kseka on my A500, I'd use a program called oneBPL to set up 2 color mode and scrolling was very fast!   I'm hoping that a RTG video card gives me that kind of experience but with 16 or 24bit color!  

It's all new to me!

Yes, it will make a hell of a difference. Even an A2000 with a gfx card blows AGA out of the water. Obviously, it's still much slower than emulated RTG (or Pegasos etc), but fast enough to be enjoyable/usable.
