@Persia,

Why would anyone want to rip the guts out of an A1200 for an old obsolete chip like a ppc, you all sure like to waste a lot of money. PPC means old and obsolete, just like most of the original Amiga users on Amiga.org.

Because the question was; What's the most powerful PPC that can be put in an A1200?
That's the first thing that sprang into my mind.  Whether you'd do that or not is another thing.

"old and obsolete, just like most of the original Amiga users on Amiga.org"  I can't argue with that. :)

I have a towerized A1200 with an 060/603e modded blizzard ppc. It has indivision aga, a mediator, a radeon card, a sata controller, a USB controller, a catweasal card and it runs OS 4.1 classic. It runs just fast enough to make me want to really buy a NG Amiga to play with. I keep looking online for old AmigaOne mobo or something of that nature to play with but I just can't justify the overall price. If anybody wanted a complete Classic PPC Amiga in exchange for an NG Amiga I'd be willig to discuss.

Anyhow, the machine is fast and the 060 as mentioned is equally speedy. It's a fun machine to play with. I paid quite a bit for it but it was never more that $4-500 at a time in the years it's taken me to piece it together.
