- Thanks for all the suggestions for upgrades to my A2000.
-
- Looks like I my budget can afford a C= A2620 board with 68881 and 4 MB and
- the newest ROMs. I'll also be buying OS 3.1 (OS 4 should be out soon after
- I buy this ;-), a cheap HD and a Supra 28.8 modem. Of course I'd rather get
- the A2630 (as some suggested :-) but it's overkill for my budget ($350 USD).
-
- My question is will there be any conflicts between the new A2620 board and
- my GVP series II SCSI card with 4 MB. How will the total 8 MB configure
- itself?
-
- My Amy: I have an A2000 (rev 4.4) 1meg angus/OS 2.1/ GVP series II SCSI
- card with 4 MB and a 100MB HD (90% full and I have deleted alot already). I
- also have a ReNo CDROM which has been a great upgrade. This system has
- been great for everything I've done so far but we all know its limitations.
- I don't want to wait for a new low end machine in North America so I will be
- upgrading.
-
- An I/O board will have to wait.
- A graphics board will have to wait.
-
- Also how many colors will I be able to see the WWW in w/o a graphic board?
- Will I have to convert jpg's and gif's to iff in order to see them properly?
- In other words, will I feel like I need the 24 bit board after 1 day on the
- web ;-) ? How much more will it cost me to get to 256 colors?
-
- Thanks a lot. :-)
