Which affects speed more? Processor or RAM?
« on: March 03, 2010, 08:34:28 PM »
This might be a dumb question but I am relatively uneducated about computer hardware in general, and the amiga in particular (mine was never expanded).
 
Which will affect an amiga's speed and performance more? Adding fast ram or adding a faster processor ?

Thanks guys. I should have specified that I was meaning the amiga specifically, but it never hurts to be educated about these things :)

Back from dinner.
 
To complete the thought, 16 bit accelerators are harder to come by today. The Supra Turbo 28 Mhz was the only one worth anything. It was very good!
 
32-bit accelerators for 16-bit amigas are spendy and need 32-bit ram to be useful.
 
Which Amiga are you talking about?

Ultimately a 1200, but cheap 600s show up reasonably often as well
