Graphics Cards

[sim085]

I read somewhere that to install AmigaOS 3.9/4.0/4.1 it is better to have a graphics card. Is this right? If so then are there any graphics card for the A1200? and would this fit in the original case?

The only graphics card for the A1200 is the BlizzardVision, but you need to have a Blizzard PPC to use it. It will fit in the case, but you need to take care of the power/heat dissipation issues.

Now I know what I have too look for

You can use OS 3.9 without a graphics board allright. I believe OS 4.0 on AGA is also possible. But probably not a pleasant experience. Note that you need a Blizzard PPC for OS 4.0. And 4.1 is just not present for classic amigas.

Thanks for the information, I knew about the PPC but did not have any knowledge of graphics card. With a PPC and Graphics board in an A1200 is the experience of OS4.1 good? or it still not a good experience?
