I wouldn't count either on the shark or the dragon.. if you got some spare cash, you should maybe wait until the different accelerators are out and tested.. who knows, maybe these ack ppc/radeon accellerators turn out to be very good and the dragon never sees the light of the day.. but anyway a 1230 is a pretty nice system.. you may check out whdload which lets you use lots of old games (even 1.x and ndos games) directly from your harddrive.. I use it myself on my A1230 and its one of the best amiga programms ever developed in the last few years..
