What would your ideal upgrade be right now for your Amiga(s)

Who says they do not already fit? I know at least one that does

Hmmm..
Images of replacing (delicately storing the original of course) my A1000 motherboard with something like this.
A backplate should be no problem, as the 1000 has that slide in backplate..
Just need some adapters (floppy drive (eject button positioning might be tricky if you use a standard PC floppy), LEDs, Power, Keyboard (A1000 original of course, unless there is a replacement that fits nicely under the A1000 and is the same color scheme), joystick ports)...
Hmmm..  Depending on the fit, would a laptop IDE optical drive fit so it ejects where the expansion slot without cutting anything???

Then, all I'd need is a monitor that fits inside a 1084s case...  

Hmmm....

Is this the reason for the quick throughput on ethernet dongles on a Deneb?

Shouldn't be as most frames are smaller than 1500 bytes.
If you are transferring big files, yes, but there is a lot of chatter and small stuff traffic...

Possibly better buffering...
A more efficient driver can relay frames quicker also, and any decrease of latency is a huge plus...

(Hey, I just said "shouldn't be" and then mentioned buffering, which was mentioned above..  D'oh!  In that case, (me actually reading) yes.., but probably not the larger packets unless you are doing lots of file transfers..)
