No, my settings are fine. Lightforce runs smooth, GLQuake and Wipeout,
too!
One big performance-killer was the deathmatch-server-mode, though.
Since the 166Mhz-Pentium-I-PC does this job, it is somewhat better. But
on A1200 side not fast enough for my taste. If you are good enough in
deathmatches and need a handicap, then it might be just right for you!
;-)
The A4000 is acceptable, I dont complain about Hyperion, dont get me
wrong! They did a wonderfull job! But I complain about phase5, who did
build hardware together, they'd better kept apart. Like 68040 and 603
with 166 Mhz. This config is just too weak to bring you any fun!
Too bad, there is no way to upgrade or boost this in any way...
