Poll-What processor is in your Amiga?

Just a quick poll to see who's using what inside their miggys

Who's a power user and who's just plain old retro happy

I use an Apollo 040/33 in my A1200 with 32MB Fast RAM. Works great, shame about the problems with some WHDLoad games though...

Yup, I know, that's why I said "most of them" .

But having all others in one system is worth not having a PPC. To me, PPC is of no use anyway.

Hmm, since I only have a A500 it's 68000
But like IC said, we got (nearly) all of them
Maybe one day I buy one of those 'pimped' A1200 you all have

2x 68040 (A4000)
1x 68060 (A4000)
2x 68000 (A500)



Edit: I totally forgot my good old A1000 so that's 1 68000 more. And one of the A4000's will get an 060 as soon as my CS MKII arrives.

why the hell some of us have lots of amigas? I don't undestand

what's the point to have 8xA1200 ?

I don't know if here there are so millionaires or so fanatics

I'm humble like Graham...only A1200+ apollo 1240/40mhz +32mb but the apollo board is damaged and doesn't works...so I never use the A1200 because it's not expanded at the moment.....only winuae

2 x 68020 in two A1200's
1 x 68030 in one of those A1200 I use frequently
1 x 68000 in an A600 stored in a closet

So I voted 30

if you have to ask, you'll never understand.

a love of hardware should NEVER be questioned.



ironically i put the 030 down, as its the one i use the most, but there are more of other processors in this house, mostly on dead or dismantled amigas though. Only one 040 too i think though, but there are a couple of 68030EC's in some dodgy A4000's, but it's mostly 68020/68000s knocking about (2 a1200 boards, 3 CD32s, 2 A500s 2 A600s)

Hmmm, lets see:

2 x a4000 motherboards for spares (no cpus attached at the moment) and 2 x a1200 motherboards for spares: both have 68020s (14 MHz) on them - do they count? Probably not, as they are not in use.

1 x 68ec030 @ 25MHz (A4020 - stock A4K cpu, not currently in use)
1 x 68040 @ 40MHz (WarpEngine - not currently in use)
1 x 68040 @ 40MHz } (CSmkII - not working).
1 x 68040 @ 40MHz }
1 x 604e @ 200MHz } (CSPPC - not working).
1 x 68060 @ 50MHz (Blizzard 1260)
1 x 68060 @ 50MHz (CSmk3 - just arrived this morning, may have a fault (not tested yet), but I suspect that it has been flashed with the wrong ROM image. Expected to be installed into my spare A4Kt once working)
1 x 68060 @ 50MHz }
1 x 604e @ 233MHz } (CSPPC in use on A4Kt)
1 x 68060 @ 50MHz }
1 x 604e @ 233MHz } (CSPPC for sale on Fleabay at the moment)
1 x 68060 @ 50MHz (spare )

Total:
2 x 68ec020 @ 14MHz
1 x 68ec030 @ 25MHz
3 x 68040 @ 40MHz
5 x 68060 @ 50MHz
1 x 604e @ 200MHz
2 x 604e @ 233MHz

I think that's all of them.
So what do I vote for?
