ram for amiga 1200

You can either get an accelerator+memory OR just a memory expansion card.  They install in the trap door located under your Amiga.   An accelerator will cost you more $ but probably a better investment long-term, if your just going to play retro-games, WHD, etc. you can get by fine with just a ram expansion.

Your pretty much stuck with the used market (ebay, forums, etc.), as there is nothing currently in production...  Google "Amiga hardware database" and you can find some good write ups on the various models.  Some are more PCMCIA friendly then others.

I may be selling my DKB1202 w/ 4MB of ram if I can get my accelerator back to life.  Private message me if interested.

are you saying that an 020 is with say 8mb of ram is not enough to get online just for web browseing and downloading(just games no massive files) id prefer not to shell out like £150 on an accelorator

I was messing around with a '030 50Mhz w/ 16MB of ram, AWeb  was barely usable.   If you went back in time to 1995 it would probably be fantastic and impressive as hell.  But now websites contain more images and junk then content...  Now a "simple" page might be a few hundred KB to over a megabyte.  

If you turn off images and do text only the performance wasn't bad.  But most websites these days aren't text friendly.  

FTP, telnet, etc. was excellent but web "surfing" was pretty limited.
