Amiga: Blizzard 1230 Mk II or IV?

[Tom]

Hello,

 

I know there are more dedicated Amiga forums, but I keep forgetting my account details in these.

 

I've got an A1200 lying around which I've been wanting to upgrade for quite some time now. Now I've got the option to buy either a 1230 Mk II or Mk IV. The Mk IV is only slightly more expensive, so price doesn't really matter. The thing is, the Mk II is sold with 50 MB of RAM in total, while the Mk IV is sold with 8 MB of RAM only. So, which one would you go for?

 

Cheers

Tom

I have Blizzard MKIV and it's a very reliable card which runs at 50MHz. I would not worry how much RAM it has, you can always upgrade it up to 128MB of EDO RAM (64MB is more common and easier to find and that's what I have)
