WinUAE is the most obvious cost effective solution.

Faster than any 060 system available, you can use both AGA and RTG screen modes (huge resolutions if you need to), and can get TV out easily.

Just my .02 eur.

Um....if I am not mistaken......the fastest Amiga WinUAE can emulate is a 68040, and even thats not as slick.

You are mistaken. WinUAE might be limited to 68040 CPU in the emulation, but it easily runs circles around any real M68K, overclocked or not. It's like several hundred MHz 68040, not to mention the ultrafast hdd, fastmem and vmem access.

This was the case 3-4 years ago already, by now it's ever faster...

Not being able to emulate the 060 is not an issue.

Except for demos/apps that explicitly check for 68060, even without actually using any 68060 specific features.

There's  Make060 for these, though.


PS. I am well aware that the emulated system is pretty much equally fast, regardless of the CPU type you choose.
