About those 70ns Simms. You seem to think that 70ns is better than 60ns. It is actually the other way around: 60ns rams are _capable_ of faster memory access, IF the accelerator card is able to utilize that.

WRT Doom: it is playable on a A1200 with a fast 030 accelerator card - but you still may have to cut down on detail and window size.
I don’t believe it’ll be fun to play on the A500 Wicher, but someone with actual first hand experience should report. I have seen videos running Doom on the A500 Vampire buttery smooth - maybe that’s an option for you?
It really depends on what you want to achieve. Are you after playing Doom or is the goal to run it on your childhood Amiga...
