I think that the time has finally come to consider buying a display card for my A2000. But am somewhat lost in the sea of the new crop of famous painters, magicians etc. I will be most grateful for any info and help in deciding what to buy. My uses are mainly 3D (REAL3d & Vistapro 3), but can't rule out DTP and 2D animations. My son plays a lot of games. I would like to retain an upgrade path i.e have a ZorroII/ZorroIII compatible card. If I buy a non AGA emulation board can I still use all the 256 colours of Pro-Page, and other such AGA compatible programs? Do any games work on the AGA cards? Should I go for RTG as well as AGA or instead of?. Is my Amiga chip RAM still required for music sampling etc? So far I've considered Merlin, Picasso & Spectrum. Your opinions and help are received with my thanks. Dave Kay
