What was your fastest Amiga processor?

In the time frame where your Amiga was either your primary computer or saw equal time, what was the fastest processor you had installed?

Please note this is strictly while it was one of your primary systems.

It's not a multiselect, otherwise I'd say 040 and PPC on the blizzard.

Blizzard A1260/50MHz since 1995. Disappointed about the speed of games running in chipmem.

Well, at that stage it was my main computer, or shared equal time with the PC. During my dial-up era it was the internet gateway for all my machines (including the Amiga for browsing, IRC, Telnet, FTP, email etc.) It was the machine I used for electronics design, writing documents for uni, printing, CD burning, some minor audio and graphics work, development, playing music and some gaming.

If someone want to convince me they are using an Amiga as their primary machine in 2022 I am all for adding it

I clicked wrong button, in my case it is not 060 which I have now, but 030 - first 28, then 50MHz. Still like it way more than 060.

Well, permit me to alleviate you of its mediocrity!

Aesthetically, I do love the gold capped purple-grey ceramic 68030s.

I got a Blizzard 1220/4 in 1994, it made my 1200 feel like a superb little computer, coupled with an 80MB harddrive. Great for games and word-processing!

A friend had the same board. Was a lovely little expansion.

For the vast majority of my Amiga ownership it was 68000@7.

Perhaps 1/3rd it was 040@25 (A3640)

But in recent times (after 2002) I've upgraded everything to 060@100 (I mean why not?)

I did everything with my miggy (besides gaming), music composing, reading PDFs, listening to mods, emulating mac for word, creating shell scripts & C programs sometimes for work..., but at some point it was just too frustrating and PC became my productivity machine.
