I consider an A1200 with an 030 50MHz as pretty much a minimum.
Though the the true potential of the m68k platform doesn't shine through until you have at least an 040.
Accelerators with an 040/060 are rarer and tend to cost quite a bit more.
Here' are my thoughts on upgrading an original Amiga with a PPC card in 2015:
You'd have to be one of those tech oddity collectors with lots and lots and lots of discretionary income to pay for one of these.
For the price of a PPC accelerator there are much better options.
- If supporting PPC (PowerISA) is your primary goal, then an Acube board or a used PowerPC Mac is a better proposition.
- If supporting AmigaOS 4.x is your primary goal, then an intel Core i7 PC running UAE with PPC emulation is better proposition.
- You can combine support for PPC and OS4 with the upcoming Acube A1222.
