Recommend a gfx card for an old A2000
« on: January 29, 2003, 11:15:55 PM »
Hi all

I just bought a very old A2000 (dirt cheap! that makes 3 Amigas and 4PCs!!!!!) and would like to give the old girl a new lease of life.  Can anyone recommend the best video card (I'm on a somewhat limited budget) to use with the A2000? I will be doing some basic image processing etc...   Also, while your at it, what would be the best accelerator for this machine? It already has an 030 in it, but still I would like something with a bit of extra grunt.

Cheers  :pint:  :pint:  :pint:  :pint:

Thanks machinehead

The guy I purchased the A2000 from also said that SoftHut is the best company for getting stuff.  I'll check it out, again thanks.

Hmm, I would have preferred an A3000 for the z3 slots, unfortunately, I doubt I will ever find one (the guy I purchased the A2000 from also had an A3000 but got rid of it last year).  Still, an A2000 with a new processor and a cybervision 64 should be enough for what I need to do :-).

Well in the ad it stated that he was in Brunswick. He was a big bulky man, with an Elvis  :-D hairstlye!

Anyhow, should I search for an alternative? Perhaps one of the older RTG cards for the 2000?

Cheers
