Time for a little update. Here is combined mips and memory speed chart.

Why the 25 MHz versions instead of 50 and 40 MHz?

graph is just giving a comparison of different speeds, the 40 and 50mhz would fit lower than the 060

Zharn, until you "bake" an FPGA (expensive process anyway , and something thats usually only done when a design is finalized and you want to achieve higher clock speeds - and this is usually done at a proper facility not at home :-) ) then yes, its user-updatable.

The Cyclone FPGA can b reprogrammed by the end user so when update like RTG and AGA+ are released they can simply be updated

Nice graph mate

I'm seriously keen to get one of these in my A1200!

No I don't have an A600 anymore.

I have an A500 but it's enough with ACA500 so I'm patiently waiting for A1200 version, I'm most interested for AGA Demos and Novacoders ports so the A1200 is my target machine for this upgrade.

I hear ya, I actually got a 600 just to put the Vampire 2 in it. (Although to be fair the 500 has seen better days so the 600 kind off replaces that one too). At the time, it wasnt obvious if and when a 1200 version was coming.
Now, with a little luck (and plenty of hard work obviously) by the time we start seeing 1200 board prototypes, the Apollo / Phoenix team has had some time to work on the graphics core as well.
Then maybe we can say hello to chunky gfx and HDMI out.
It surely will open a couple of new doors for various projects.
(Odamex, duke nukem 3d, quake 2) etc.
Interesting times ahead.

Does anyone know the status of the Vampire 500 version? There is a shot of the V2 PCB on www.majsta.com. Looks fantastic. Only says soon... I'm impatient, soon isn't soon enough!
