+ Includes a 10Mhz 68000 giving you a *slight* processing bump
- The 68000 doesn't fully support the WHDLoad quit function (which I believe requires a 68010 or above to work 100%?). You can always fit a 68010.
- Doesn't give you the extra speed for games like Frontier, Microprose GP, Wing Commander as jotd and AmigaHope have referenced. As you currently don't have this, you aren't worse off, but if that's something you'd like, it might be worth spending the extra 50 Euro on an accelerator. |
These are the best value for money out there I think.
Just remember to mod your A500 for 1meg chip (easy enough on a rev 5 or rev 6).
