My main deciding point is that I can get an A600 for free (and then
pay for a CPU upgrade), or I can search and buy an A1200 (and probably
in the end pay for a CPU upgrade for this too). My problem is that it
is easy to put the A600 in a tower case, where as the A1200
motherboard is as tall as the case is! I suppose on AGA you can run
Quake and Payback and the rest of it, which would be nice (I'm sure my
mates wouldn't pay out the Amiga if they saw it run something more
than Test Drive II).
