This may sound really dumb, but, I'll ask anyway. Is there anything different in the architecture of an A1200 versus that of an A4000 that makes the 4000 a FASTER machine? Of course, the stock CPUs are different, and, the A4000 has more expandability, but, if all else is equal, with both machines having the identical CPUs and amounts of RAM on an add-on processor card, does either machine have a performance edge when used in regular AGA modes (no RTG card on the 4000)?
I don't know. Over the years I've heard that AGA is a bit quicker on an A4000, but on the other hand I've heard the A1200 is quicker in some other respect. Whatever the pros and cons are I'm sure they're too miniscule to bother mentioning, unless someone here knows differently? I think if they both have equal CPU cards with Fast RAM on the card, then they're the same.
I know that the A3000 has superior ECS speed compared with A1000/A500/A2000 and A600.
