I'll stick with 3.0 as that is how I remembered it as a kid. I'm certainly not buying an accelerator either as they're very expensive with no obvious gain.

"with no obvious gain." :-?
What? I disagree.
It will be much easier to play games, WHDLoad :-)

Why is it easier to play WHDLoad games with Kickstart 3.1?

I did not reply to that ;-)

That is exactly what I mean :-)


Yes, more memory will do, but I think it's easier to find a 030 card than it is to find a RAM card. At least, I have had 3 acc. boards for my A1200, but I have almost never seen a RAM card for A1200 here in Denmark.
