i had asked the question in another post "will an accelerator be worthwhile for whdload" and the general consensus was that it wasnt. so now you guys are saying it is worthwhile?
based on that then, what is the reccommended kind of accelerator for running OS3.9? if im going to go for one of these bad boys i might as well go the whole hog and install a decent OS(not that classic WB isnt decent).
my only concern is if i get an accelerator il end up getting various other stuff and spend a good chunk of my life trying to set it all up properly :-? :crazy: :-D
Hi,
You don't need an 030 to run most WHDLOAD stuff or even OS 3.9 which will run quite well with just a 4mb expansion if you set it up properly (for example ditching the docking bar). What is really killing the performance of a standard 1200 is lack or fast ram, not the CPU. The other thing to remember is that the 'bottle-kneck' of an Amiga is the custom chipset which is why you don't get a massive AGA boost (eg WB redraw speed) when changing the 14mhz 020 to a 50mhz 030.
