I am currently setting up an A1200 as a Workbench/Gaming machine. I need more RAM mostly for some games and to make Workbench use able.
As much as I would love the Apollo/Vampire, I kinda want to get going now. I don't want to pay a fortune for 'old' hardware (as in new accelerators based on the original CPUs). As such my main thought is the ACA-1221EC. Gives the Miggy a little speed boost and provides 8MB Fastram for the few games that need it. Plus it is the cheapest option at £105 from AmigaKit.
Anyone own one, what do you think about it? Any other (cheap) options out there?

I don't think the ACA 1221EC can be beaten on price unless you get really lucky. It will also suffer less depreciation than 030 based options when the Vampire 1200 arrives.

Well gone for the 1221ec. All I really needed was the extra ram although the speed will help as well. Might do a review on it as I haven't seen any lol
