Amiga 1200 rebuild, what should I do to this machine? WHDLoad?

[Thorham]

Definitely going to stick with the standard 020 and RAM card I got with it for now.

Yes, don't let anyone talk you into buying expensive accelerators that you don't need for Whdload.

Will probably go with Kickstart 3.1 for the heck of it.

I wouldn't bother. You get absolutely ZERO benefit from that for a Whdload system. There truly is no point.

[Thorham]

Bug-fixes and new features, all in an easy-to-install pop-out ROM package, as well as compatibility with later versions of the OS like 3.9.  Well worth the princely sum of around $20 USD, at least for me.  

Completely useless if all you want to do is run Whdload games. I'm not against 3.1, but for Whdload games only it's just not beneficial. It's not even about the cash. It's about having to install this, which means messing around with the mobo for no good reason at all. Just leave it be.

Don't recommend things that people don't need. I'm surprised no one has recommended a 68060 yet :lol:

Sure wish I still had it, Napalm ran great!

How does Napalm hold up against Starcraft?

[Thorham]

Need to look that one up.

You should. One of the best RTS games ever produced, and it can still be  bought from Blizzard (don't confuse it with Starcraft 2).

If that was the case, why not just stay on 1.3?  Or 1.0, for that matter?  Heck, why even use computers at all when we could be banging rocks together for fun?  :laughing:

Oh lord :rolleyes:

I would rather not mess around with the innards of my computer if it doesn't yield any benefits. Whats the point? It's like removing dust from a heat sink while there's no dust on it. It's completely pointless. Upgrading 3.0 to 3.1 for Whdload is equally pointless.

Sigh
