@ AAACHIPSET

well my 2 cents is you seem happy with your current setup and it doesnt look like adding the fastest PPC card will get you running that much more stuff you already enjoying and most importantly still wont get you up to modern browsing.

With the crazy costs of classics PPC cards nowadays I would rather buy either a new/ used Sam460 with AmigaOS4.1 or if you already have some old Apple hardware lying around your place try MOS. There is also AROS which is making great strides on bog standard PC's as well as netbooks (I personally use AspireOS on an old Netbook and it's great fun)

I personally have found that since moving up to AmigaOs4.1 my 1200 with 030@50 is sadly hardly ever used nowadays as I can do all my net browsing comfortably and my favourite 68k apps & games run great on OS4.1 and seamlessly with great programs like glUAE or RunInUAE. A bonus is you can dual boot into Linux Debian and instantly use the multitude of apps available as well.

The best part of getting a NG Amiga system is the community support whether that be AOS, MOS, or AROS!

..That's was recorded running on an OS4.1 A4000 (CSPPC @233MHz), on a beta version of the Permedia2. Which is by far the weakest 3D hardware you can use on any PPC equipped Amiga.

damn that's smooth and quick for that ol classic beast running OS4.1:eek:

This is "hate OS4" site, so nobody should ask opinion about OS4 here.
....
Sad thing is that every OS4 thread is hijacked with MorphOS fans, in fact they write more to OS4 threads than MorphOS threads.

well sadly this is mostly true on this site nowadays; however, this thread is about PPC options for classics versus going to a NG Amiga system (whether the NG system is OS4.x, MOS, or AROS is the OP's decision)

Yeah I was pretty surprised myself when I saw it and I wrote the damn driver for 4.1 :lol:

why you humble guy you;) stuff that cool should be posted on every single Amiga site around ! as a matter of fact just being able to get THAT much out of the ol girl is worth maxing out the classic miggy IMHO...**** no wonder any PPC cards for our classics go for totally insane prices! Amigans just can't put a price on pimping out their miggies much like some car guys I know get a 2'nd mortgage (literally) to pimp out their muscle cars just so they can brag about it to other car guys:roflmao:

Quite, and I'm sure we'd all prefer it not to turn into a blue v red piddling contest. Besides, I drank a lot of coffee today and I have no doubt that I can pee longer and further than the rest of you put together.

I agree but alas guess which friend of ours immediately posted this comment on this very thread:rolleyes:

"If you insist on OS4 your options are either insanely expensive or underpowered"
