What you can do with a lot of RAM, which was a pretty big limitation on Toasters back in the day is load a large animation in memory, more memory, the longer it could be. I would make a 3-4 second looping one in Lightwave for something better than a static image in the background of a text crawl. 30 seconds would would have been so much better, that's the difference between the default 16MB on an A4000 and 128MB on an accelerator.
Of course that's not the best way of doing that, with an accelerator with a DMA SCSI drive, or maybe an A4091 or Fastlane as long as it's not thrashing the CPU too much, you can stream right from the HDD. With a CV64 and a TRexx-II I could play something like a 512x384 16bpp animation movie up to the file size limit in Frogger, but not via the Toaster.
