welcome to the club:) I'm sure you'll be surprised how snappy Blender runs on the Samflex but of course you'll have to go get a coffee during very large rendering..which always reminds me of waiting forever to render with my 1200 and Lightwave back in the day but I never cared because it's the responsiveness of the program while working that matters to me;)
Don't forget to check out glUAE to run your old apps and especially to play ECS/OCS and most AGA games! RunInUAE is also a good program for 68k stuff but it's not that good for AGA stuff..then of course there are hundreds of goodies at os4depot to keep you smiling...enjoy!
btw, I would stick to update 1 for now because some people (me included) are experiencing some USB flaws under Update 2
