WHAT THE SMEG IS WRONG WITH MY CSPPC????

[AMC258]

I have been working on setting up an A2000 for my girlfriend.  I bought this A2000 over ten years ago, and it's seen a lot of use/abuse since.  I recently dusted it off, removed the Toaster/Flyer and a whole crapload of other hardware.  I installed a Blizzard 2060, my old CV64/3D, and an A2065.

I am posting from said A2000 right now, but I can barely read what I type because I'm using a defective PS/2 monitor (whole screen is 5x5" big!)

Anyway, this thing SCREAMS.  It's loads faster than my A3000UX with the CSPPC 060/50 EVER was.  (Aside from the slower video, as expected with the lesser graphic card.)
The seller of this 2060 said he didn't overclock it.  Maybe I should check to be sure?  The 060 doesn't even get warm though!

I have half a mind to give my girlfriend the A3000, OS4 and all, and keep this thing for myself!

I have always preferred the 2000 and 2060 to the 3000 and CSxxx. 2000 is just a workhorse!

I have a Blizzard 2040ERC/40 in a 2000, a CSPPC 68060/604 in an A4000T, and a CS MK III 68060 and they all scream for classic Amiga's IMHO

Perhaps I should upgrade it to a 2060:-)

I gave up trying to max out my A2000's ever since I saw the performance of a ZII graphics card, even with a 040/060.  It really sucked, so I don't other anymore and I now just stick to my A3000/4000's for the beefier upgrades!

anyway, whats the spec of your A3000? i havn't got OS4 yet, but i'm guessing OS4 is going to munch dust comparing JIT 68k emulation to a true 68060...

but then, i remember putting a CV64/3D in a bog standard A4000/030 when i had one, and thinking that the screen scrolling was sooooo smooooth. i look at the screen scrolling on my BVPPC now, and i'm a little puzzeled as to why it seems to be having such redraw problems... maybe its the CV64/3D drivers that make it seem so fast?

Exactly, if it had faster graphics my A2000 would have been loaded by now!

Now it is just a basic 030/25MHz, Picasso2, Ariadne1, Buddha - A2000.

Also 8 MB limit over Z2 slots kinda sucks. But its still a nice professional workhorse for digital media image work and processing.
