I mostly game so my upgrades are all 68030's.
I can understand people getting the rare upgrades just to get them, but the
prices are a bit insane in my opinion for what you can run. The best thing
for me would have been for Commodore to have lived long enough to sell PPC
Amigas so I can get the classic 68k ones cheap after people moved on to
newer ones. Shocking what I can get for 68K mac for little or nothing and
how much it costs for something close on the Amiga (network cards anyone).
I kind of wonder why people bother with 060's
and PPC on Amigas, very
little
was made that can use it.
There's definitely PPC software out there, but nowhere near as much as
the 68k stuff. And the 68060 can theoretically run all of the
software back to the 68000. I have a 68030 in my 2000 and it can
still feel sluggish, especially at higher resolutions and color
depths. It would be nice to hvae a 68060, but not $500 nice. lol
