- That`s not my opinion...I agree for machines with no gfx-board installed,
- but a gfx-board is needed a plain Amiga got unuseable, IMHO.
- With cybergfx installed, it`s very expensive to get enough memory...
- nearly impossible. It`s no problem for me to wait half a second
- while screen swaps from hd to mem...but it`s a problem to reboot very
- often because of a destroyed heap.
-
- I`m running VMM with 10MB buffer...if it`s not ADpro or maybe Pagestream,
- it`s transparent and not noticeable.
-
- It`s very expensive to upgrade from ec030 to full030...that`s what I don`t
- like...even it`s lame for important things like enforcer.
