My goal is not an alternative system that equals the power of todays PC, but to be able to run amiga software more confortably than a standard A1200.

I agree with Jope that it is better to be not too far from standard amiga to keep what makes this computer so special. Turning an amiga into a PC is without interest.

pandy71, I'm not sure I understand you well.

Is it an electronic switch to drive one display with two video sources??

Or an RGB to VGA converter?

Because switching between the source will not solve the problem of VGA timing generation. A scandoubleur first deinterleave the video by storing in a buffer, and after the image is complete displays at a higher sync frequency (31.25KHz instead of 15,625KHz)
