I  rather  doubt there is really *anything* that will be faster on a 16 bit
'030  compared to a 32 bit 'EC020.  The '030 would have to be TWICE as fast
at  the  same  Mhz  in order for a 16 bit system to be faster than a 32 bit
system  with  an  020.   Sure, the 030 *IS* faster at the same Mhz, but not
twice as fast.

From  what I understand (and I've seen *Apple* claim this in ads) the LCII/
Performa  400  are  only twice as fast as a Classic!  The A1200 is twice as
fast as an A500, which is roughly equivalent to a Classic in CPU power; and
that  was  *without*  FAST  ram!   With fast ram it should be at least FOUR
times faster.

So  what  we  end up with is a machine that costs significantly less than a
Mac LCII/Performa 400 and still out performs it.

Even with "only" an EC020.

Now,  there  ARE  marketing  snags  with  this  -  IE, people see "030" and
immediately  think  it  must  be better than "EC020" - they'd be wrong, but
hey, that is why they invented marketing, right?

The  only  real  drawback  I see to the EC020 is its memory range, which is
limited,  especialy  since  (apparently) 4MB of that space is allocated for
the  PCMCIA  slot - leaving 4 megs for fast ram and 2 megs of chip.  But, 6
megs  of  ram should be sufficient for a low end machine.  I'm assuming the
PCMCIA  memory  range  is  in  the normal Autoconfig area - I could be (and
hope)  wrong about that.  Somebody from Commodore needs to tell us just how
much ram the A1200 could have maximum (well, we know its under 16MB..)

You  people  need to remember this is a *LOW*END* machine.  Its dammed nice
for a low end box.  Its not designed for heavy duty computing.

Look people, it's QUITE possible (though not in the current revision of the
OS, maybe through a 3rd party hack) to run Workbench in Ham8.  Since Ham8 has
64 base colors, you can run the GUI (as in windows, borders, text, all fine
detail stuff) in one of the base colors for 64 true colors out of a 25 bit
palette.  However inside one of those windows you can take advantage of the
extra 2 bitfields and do HAM8 for grapics within the windows.

You obviously never need to generate documents with:
   *  Footnotes
   *  Tables
   *  Table of Contents/Figures/Tables
   *  Indices

If you need any of these features on an Amiga WP, you're S.O.L.  You've
got to go to TeX (a very nice package, but NOT a word-procesor).

Because of this, I never do serious (>2 pages) documents on the Amiga.
I hope someday one of the Amiga WPs will do these, but in the meantime,
I keep booting up AMax.

	Okay, so you think comparing a 486 with an Amiga 2000 is unfair?
I agree too but my original post was to someone saying that an Amiga
500 could blow the socks off any 486-33 clone in any category and
I felt compelled to inform him this was untrue.

	I wouldn't be too suprised.  Someone mentioned to me that it might be
wise to hold off buying a A4000 until after Nov 16.  I'd expect the end of Nov
and begining of December **Christmas Sales Season** to be important to 
commodore.  Personally,  I think this rumor is entirely suspect, commodore has 
given us the A1200, and A4000... so whats next?  A price adjustment?  
A Midrange machine?  Nothing at all?

Dunno what you mean with 'pixel accuracy'. VGA is just the "standard"
put out by IBM and the various flavours of SVGA offer higher resolution
and more colors and deeper palettes than VGA.

Except HAM with the AGA chipset. Usually has a 18bit palette (AGA has a 24bit).

No. There are modes that can't be promoted like the 1280*xxx modes.

Well, you actually will know what frequencies a monitor understands. Buying

SVGA monitors need multiscan capabilities since SVGA is not a fixed
nor even a standardized resolution.

Or some other Multiscan.. You could also get a 1084 which has a better
display than many TV's in that size. Hooking this one to a VCR makes

But in general a more professional look and feel to all the productivity stuff. 
A lot of it seems half-baked at best; Amiga word processors being a good 
example. The problem isn't that the range of software doesn't exist as much as
that the stuff that does seems terminally B-grade. What is needed is a couple 
of truly A-grade products in each catagory (eg word processing, desk top pub., 
music, databases, spreadsheets, etc...) rather than a rash of 'almost there' 
programs.

Some of these problems could be fixed by getting better support from the large
software houses, but then who would want to write for a computer manufactured by
Commodore.

As I am sure everyone on this net is aware the Amiga is a great computer 
despite, rather than because of, Commodore.

The A1960 may not be the most cost-effective solution, but if compatibility
