PulsatingQuasar : I know, the faster the better, but my financial resources are not so wide to get me a CPPC or even a MK3 040  :-) But I remember that when I had an A1230 and installed a Zorro4 busboard with a CV64/3D that the general speedup was bigger than I first expected it to be, mainly due to the fast screen acceleration, so I guess it´s the same as when you would install a Prom in an A4000D with a humble 68030/25. Am I wrong ?? Please correct me if I am, still need to learn a lot  :-D

PulsatingQuasar : absolutely no offense to the 1260 but the first time I had seen such an A1200 I was really disappointed about the speed of the grafix. It may even seem that normal Workbench usage looks faster on an A1230 with gfx card than an A1260 with only AGA. Of course when it comes to pure processing then the A1230 will stay far behind, I know that. I just meant the impression that it gave me the first time ...
