So if i got a Amiga A4000/040@25mhz and got a network card and got some RAM for it. Would that be a good enough machine for simple web browsing?

Sure but you won't find that for 35 GBP.

Seriously for browsing and other stuff you do in Workbench Winuae is nearly perfect. Use that and do some classic gaming on your 1200. With a harddisk and that 4Mb card you can install a lot of games using WHDLoad. Transfer files using a cheap PCMCIA network card or card reader.

Costs:

Winuae: free
4Mb card: 10 GBP?
PCMCIA lan: 10 GBP (second hand)?
PCMCIA card reader: 15 GBP Amigakit

All other options will cost very much. A second hand 4000 can already cost more than 150 GBP and then you don't have a cheap network option.

The A1200 can be expanded far easyier. It will cost afew quid to upgrade your machine.  but even when you finally get it all upgraded it still can't do alot of things a PC can do as standard. I'm not to sure on requirements to run an amiga online as I have a PC for that sort of stuff as it does'nt limit what kind of site I can view. but i'm guessing anything less than a 060 is'nt going to be much fun atall.

one of the other guys will give you some advice on requirements.

Awwww....


If I still had my '030 from my old 1200, I'd give it to you, for such an adorable post!!!  :-P


Happy Holidays, Gwion. I hope that Santa brings you something good this year, Kid.

I'd like Santa to bring me another A3000, to replace the one my ex-girlfriend tossed off our balcony....

"So? She doesn't talk back!"


Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut.  :cry:

I feel you there. Santa's bringing me a new A500 to play with, the day after X-Mas. A guy was kind enough to drive it up here from California, so I could have a good Christmas.  :-P
