My pride and joy is an A2000 my Daughter picked up at a garage sale in Dayton, Ohio for $25.00, no keyboard or mouse.
to tell the truth, I think it actually connects and browses faster than my Compaq AMD-K6-2 machine with a 56k modem. We live in the boondocks of Northern Michigan, and the phone lines up here really suck. Slows things down awful. :-P
I wouldn't doubt it. My ancient A4000 (Think Eric Schwartz "The Survivor") with its old MC68040/40 perform comparably to my new Gateway pentium 4 1.8 gighrz. with windbloze 98. (I shudder to think what XPired would do to an otherwise decent machine.)
2000s are amazingly scalable due to how the Amiga architecture is put together. Replace processor, graphics, memory, rom chips. With the right add-ons it can soldier and carry it's weight right next to a souped up 4000. I personally too a 1.2 rom floppy only 2000 and "with a few things I found around the house" Turned it into a rockingly good 2.1 hard drive booting modern software using beast circa 1994. The 3.1 chips were not out yet.
Check my Amiga page for the machine I am running. URL below got to the "Amiga Page"
