Should I upgrade my A1200?
« on: February 23, 2003, 05:08:28 PM »
I'm thinking of upgrading my 1200, which i by the way haven't used for like two years from now.
I just don't know what to buy.
Just for gaming, a blizzard 030 64mb RAM + a HD would be nice.
If i should go for towerizing it with a 040/060, just how fast are they really? gimme some numbers plz! Thougt it would be cool to rock with an old A1200. Of course i would add a PCI-board as well.
The downside is that it will be a rather expensive computer relative to what you get for an A1.
As i understand it, IDE sucks performance out of the system, but what about UDMA/ATA? Is there even such a controller to the amiga. (yeah yeah... SCSI = Expensive).
The raw speed isn't really the issue here, the responsiveness, gaming and of course nostalgia. I already got a XP2600 to watch/encode DivX and such things.

I went for the 030 with 64mb RAM. Felt kinda right. I'll wait for the peggies/A1:s for more serious applications.
