I'd agree with AmiBoy. Oxypatcher is the one to find if you have an '060 board as it is the best at converting the old 68030 FPU instructions into a format the '060 can deal with (programs that used the 68881/68882 slowed down on '060).

Cyberpatcher comes free on the installation disk for Blizzard/Cyberstorm accelerators. This does what Oxypatcher does but not as good. Oxypatcher got an Amiga Format 96% Gold Rating if I remember correctly.

With regards to BlizKick - I'm at a loss as to what exactly it does. The Blizzard 1230-IV-1260 already map Kickstart into FastMem (you set a jumper on the 1230-IV) and with an 8.5 ROM on the SCSI kit you won't need it there either. The documentation says half the patches don't work or are unstable and in my opinion it's a good idea to prune as many hacks from your system as possible (especially if you have a lot of hardware connected such as CD-burners etc.)

Make sure you have all the latest Phase5 libraries, give your board a good 60ns FPM and keep your Workbench palette below 32 colours, that's my advice!
