You guys all make it sound like its just so easy to find a Blizzard 030 card. I've been searching for one for a wile now and can't seem to get one less than $300 or else on Amibay they go so fast you don't even get a shot at one.

Thats 300 reasons not to get one. Honestly, RAM is the best bang-for-buck add-on you can put into a stock A1200. I've had all of 'em: 8 meg ram card, 68030 cobra ram card (btw a POS that overheats, would never recommend one) and Apollo 68040 ( brilliant ran for 10 years then died, oh well).
a ram card will : double your speed: off a flash card i boot in about 8 seconds, let you run every serious software you can think of (unless you image process insanely big pictures or try 3-d rendering big scenes, in which case you should use Winuae), give you a snappy workbench that will feel super-quick if you come from the windows world, connect to the net, email, browse, ftp, playback mp3's, give you the best compatibilty with games, and NEVER fail due to overheating and its CHEAP. But its your money.
