+1 I would pickup a Indivision AGA unit.   It makes a big difference on modern LCD monitors even widescreen ones.  CRT would be good for retro scanlines but definitely LCD would look better.

From my understanding its best to only try OS 3.9 if you have a 060 or better accelerator.    OS 3.1 what you have would be the fastest option.    Best to get another CF / main drive and try perhaps try out OS 3.5.   Nothing would stop you from trying within WinUAE which would be more powerful for OS 3.9 up.    

060 accelerators are very pricey.

I would grab a 030 accelerator or one of those ACA accelerators..     Much cheaper and OS 3.1 goes pretty fast with it along with whdload.

Heres other peoples experiences with OS 3.9 on various hardware specs.   http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=61127  

Non accelerated Amiga is reported as Choppy experience.

"Or better"?  There's not much better than an '060 (unless you count the Vampire), lol.  ;)


At the time I was thinking better would have been 060 PPC, but they look like they cost more than what my first car did.

Flickerfixers have been, are, and will be awesome on Amiga. :)


Super awesome.  Before Indivision AGA, I was rocking my old 1084s.  Was a pain to use workbench, probably okay for gaming.  

Once I installed Indivision suddenly my Ami felt like a almost modern day system.   Made me use it much more as well.
