- Remember, the speed of an un-accelerated Amiga is about the same as IBM
- AT. (12-16MHz) Don't expect a miracle on A500. The speed is acceptable
- with AdSpeed. All their new games use 64 colors and HAM, therefore,
- accelerator is a must.
-
- You can imagine how fast is it when you play Willy on IBM AT.
-
- Come on! AdSpeed is really cheap. You can get a new one for $129 from
- Montgomery.
