How fast is "fast enough"
« on: April 25, 2008, 12:16:15 AM »
We have 020's at 14 mhz w/FastRam, 030's at 25 to 50 mhz, 040's at 25 to 40 mhz, and 060's at 50 to 90 mhz,

Now, putting aside the view that a computer can never be "too fast", what would be the minimum useable processor and speed.

Thanks for all the replies so far.
My question was related to running the sort of AMIGA software you are still running now, most of this was written for a base machine at 7 or 14 mhz and should run on that machine but a little extra speed is usually good, so I was wondering which speed is usable, I know PC's are faster but most of that speed is wasted running windows, and even that machine will be OBSOLETE in 18 months if not sooner.
A lot of people are trying to find 060 accelerators, but could they be satisfied with an 030 or 040 if they dont want to play DVD's, I can buy a brand new DVD player in my local supermarket for under £15 which is better and more economical than trying to make the amiga do it.
