Blizzard PPC - is it worth it?

[MarkTime]

I kind of/sort of agree with most of the statements here...but I will point out, that while AGA is too slow to be acceptable...that when you get the mediator installed with the graphics card, don't forget it will allow you a high res workbench, but you may discover the overall system is still slow.
It's still goes tick tick tick as it hits the hard drive and you watch the icons draw....and windows move around herky jerky, not like paper sliding under glass...which is what you expect of any modern pc.

It's true that a speed clocked 060, fastATA upgrade, faster hard drive, mediator/voodoo3 kind of/sort of gets you an amiga that thanks to some efficiencies in the os and assembler programming everywhere, is sort of acceptable usable on some taks.....its way expensive, and you may just sit there and go 'ITS STILL SLOW'

if you are willing to go with the 68k only route, then buy a cheapo PC and Amiga Forever, you will have the fastest amiga around.

It's not quite as satisfying as the Mediator 060 setup...but in many ways its better and less costly, and faster and more reliable.

I'm just going to get a pegasos, if I ever get off my duff and do it...(soon)

THANK YOU FOR NOTICING....I kept waiting for someone to ask.

Yes, I call it

'Little Boy throws a Dove into the mouth of a bear'

And...originally it looked nice, but then when we lost all our avatars a while back, I did it again, uploaded it again, and somehow I got some monster compression (too much), got some kind of barely 1k thingy that looks bad.

I should change it, but it's too much effort for an avatar.  the full size picture looks quite nice, although when you see the whole picture, it almost gives you the impression the boy is just chasing after the dove with the bear just kind of just surveying the whole scene.
