What do you guys think of my Amiga?
« on: January 12, 2010, 11:49:27 PM »
I'm not sure if I want to keep upgrading this 500+ with as much ram as possible up to 9 megs, a nice sidecar HD and maybe a accelerator.  I would say the most I want to spend upgrading it is $250, because with that a could get a new old stock A1200 with a CF HD from Amigakit.  So here's what I have now...

A500+ with full ECS, 1.5MB ram, 68010 processor upgrade, 3.1 roms, CA-88 2nd floppy and best of all no yellowing.  Should I upgrade this 500 with at least a hard drive or should I just spend a little more for a 1200?

The AGA chipset, the CF hard drive option and the ability to network and go online with it are the main reasons I want a A1200, also I would love to get an accelerator for it and get WB 3.9 which I've never seen in action and the networking and being able to go online...

What do you want do with it? A stock A1200 will provide better performance and compatibility with AGA software, but you'll want a RAM expansion and an easy way to softkick Kickstart 1.3 for compatibility with legacy games.
Mainly I want to run demos and games, but I love having the most powerful machine possible even if I don't need to.  Overkill is great.
