Funny, I'm building up an A2000 too.An A3000 or A4000 might have more expandability, but the really good hardware is getting rare and stupid priced.
A2000 parts?
Still cheap.


At this point? 8mb of ram, 25 MHz '030, ECS, looking for a good RTG solution that I can feed the output of an Indivision through.
Wish I could go PPC.
Don't really care about AGA (uh, guys, ever bench that against a Voodoo3? trust me, you don't want to - you'll get depressed).

Ever found any Amiga software for Voodoo3 ..? ;)

Sure, anything you can run via RTG.
Why?
Quake II ought to run (but that requires a PPC).
And other RTG titles.
Not that a Voodoo  card is going to work in my system since you can't fit PCI slots to an A2000.


I could use a Voodoo3 in a MorphOS system, but there are better cards for that.
And I keep my Voodoo card in a PC to flash PC video cards with Mac compatible roms.

When did they ever make a ZORRO VooDoo card??? Your link looks like a windows type AGP card.

You'd use a Voodoo 3 PCI card in a PCI bus adapter (or a Voodoo 4500 or 5500).
Don't think there are AGP slot adapters for the Amiga.
