Josh: Just to expand a bit on what Larry said: Programs where the timing is important to their proper execution run the same speed on all Amiga, IF they were written correctly. OTOH — with an accelerator board like a 2620, with its 68020 cpu, 2 megs of 32 bit wide ram, a memory management unit, and a 6881 match coprocessor -your system is much, much faster. Word processors and dictionaries work much faster. Graphics paint or ray tracing programs work much faster, etc. However, games generally do not (except for scene switches, they are faster generally) if they are written properly. They are, however, "snappier" in terms of their response to computation dependent items (how fast a new puzzle is created in a word game, for example). Ray Lewis But, yes your best bet would be to get the 2000, and then upgrade it later if you like what's going on here in Amiga world.
