AFAIK they are all equal on compatibility.  What CPU are you currently using?

If u don't want cooling issues then you have only 2 choices:
68030 50Mhz slow but cool.
68060 50Mhz superfast but supercool.  No heatsink needed.  No fan needed.  Only 4.9 watts supergreen CPU.  Save the Earth!  Use an 060!  You also get a free FPU and free L1 cache!

All 68040 cards are hot and must have a heatsink or fan or something.

Not all games work on 2MB A1200.  Why limit yourself to only small games?

Most compatible WHD-accelerator: Blizzard 1230/50
Most speedy bang for buck WHD-acc: ACA 1230/56
Most compatible ACA: 1232/33 I think...

Can't get the ACA 1230 56Mhz new anymore (sniff sniff) but a close second is the ACA 1231 still able to buy new. May only have 64MB of RAM but is a lot quicker than the ACA 1232.

I would really like to see a 060 powered Amiga with only 2MB of RAM :D
Glory to the loud-mouthed Scotsman !
