It seems ACA1231/42Mhz is faster than Blizzard1230/50 thanks to its faster memory interface.

 It seems 030 doesn't understand that memory is faster and works with both in fast page mode

I would go for the Blizzard. More MHz, more stable with most A1200. SCSI upgradable, FPU and max RAM at 256 MB.

Yeah a few megs of extra ram can take you a long way :) I've also played a lot of whdload games on just a few extra megs in the past, if it did not run removing the preload tag did get quite a few large games to run anyways :)

well a few megs and an extra 25 Mhz in my case;)

Hi , which card is better ACA 1232 33mhz/25mhz new or old Blizzard 1230 Phase 5 50 mhz , for my Amiga 1200 rev 1d1

preis the used  blizzard is 170 eur
aca 1232 33 preis is 165 eur
aca 1232 25 140 eur

Blizzard is better, no question.  My old Blizzard 030 managed almost 10 MIPS and with an FPU I could also run a couple of the more modern demos.

The only ACA that leaves a Blizzard 030 behind is the super fast 56Mhz 030.

Blizzard 030 50Mhz DOOM

ACA 56Mhz DOOM


ACA vs Apollo 060

ACA 56Mhz Full Throttle

Apollo 80Mhz Full Throttle

Yeah, I think 4MB should be enough for most games.

-edit- Actually, any other thoughts on that one? 8MB would definitely be plenty.

If you just want to play whdload games buy the cheaper one, whdload games just need some fast ram (amiga games not quacke, doom and pc era games)
