argh, help me decide. :)
« on: February 13, 2003, 07:54:22 PM »
So it's time to upgrade a computer... but I can not decide on which one I should upgrade first, my PC or my A1200.

I can spend 300$ and I can choose between this:
A 1,8 or 2.5 ghz AMD processor and motherboard for my PC...got a P450 so that would be a nice speedchange.

Or I can buy this:

A1200 desktop with Blizzard 1230-III@50Mhz + FPU/MMU 68882@50 Mhz, 16MB fastmem,SCSI-Kit III
External 5,25" cabinet, Seagate 4.2GB SCSI disk, 24X SCSI-cdrom,121 Mb 2,5" HD with OS 3.5 installed.

Probably will be the Amiga but is all that worth 300$ or is that too expensive or too cheap?  :-D

I have more fun with my Amigas but the PC need that darned upgrade for games. :\

Yup, it's the cheapest one I've seen in sweden and is sold in a city just a few miles from mine so there is no shipping cost whatsoever...but then again, being able to play Morrowind wouldn't be bad either but that could wait another month... :) *really hard to decide*

And while I'm at it, what does the Mediator offer? PCI card support I know of, but I read in an AmigaActive (the issue before they went Digital.) that one could buy a TV card and watch TV on the workbench and plug in a gameconsole and play that too on a window. Anyone tried that?

Seems like it's going to be a PC upgrade after all...  guess the trouble deciding what to get is that I only own unexpanded A1200's and always wanted an upgraded one. (mmmm, having Os3.9 running natively without an emulator would be sooo nice...) But as you people say, that would be very expensive and money isn't something I get a lot of. ;)
