Even with AGA, on a decent res (let's say approximately 640x480), 256 colour display, it will crawl.

Apache2k, I'm interested to see how you get on with your current set of upgrades, if you could keep this thread posted.

I imagine an old 'big box' Amiga like an A2k or A3k would be quite cheap unexpanded, that the upgrade path doesn't look quite so high-investment as it appears to be with my A1200.

Only problem I can think of is IDE, A2k/3k is SCSI isn't it?  How could I stick an IDE disk in it, how much for the expansion parts needed (I have disks spare)?

A run-down of cost to get an unexpanded A2k/A3k to run say WB3.1, IDE disks, and a reasonable graphics card for 2D decent resolutions and colours, would be interesting to read.

Could someone with decent knowledge of the A2k/A3k do a writeup of the practical, upgrade potential of it?  I'm fairly sure I could find a permanent place for the article on Amiga.org.
