ACA 1230 @ 42Mhz 64MB = 9.36 Mips
ACA 1231 @ 42Mhz 64MB = 9.98 Mips
ACA 1232 @ 33Mhz 128MB = 7.89 Mips

Eyeing up a ACA 1230 ATM but think for 9 euro more I can pickup a ACA 1232 (non MMU). Which is fin as the ACA 1230 doesn't have an MMU ;-)

Just wanting to know of other people out there and what they've experience in real everyday use?

Great cards, very fast for an 030.

This is my card in real everyday use.

ACA 1230 @56Mhz

[Lurch]

Thanks for the reply Nova, have been checking out a few youtube clips of yours :-)

Very impressed with what a 68030. KInd of got me started into looking for an ACA card.

Have eliminated the ACA 1232.. just weighing up between the ACA 1230 and 1231... 1231 seems to have the edge but not much in it :-)

Guessing nobody wants to part with their 56Mhz version, 12+ Mips seems nice :-) I can see me using the A1200 daily with a faster card. Missed out on a 68040, and the 68060's are out of my price range but for an all round card an ACA card will be great :-)

Hehehe

25Mhz 040 = 25 MIPS

50Mhz 060 = over 100 MIPS

I did the math and got an 060 but even a basic bottom of the line 040 beats 030 by a wide margin.

25Mhz 040 = 25 MIPS

That's crazy numbers. Would be ample for what I need. However finding a 68040 is the fun part.

Was looking at a 68060 card on amibay for $500 USD, but don't want to spend that much. Was thinking half that :-)

Unless I sell my Indi ECS which I no longer need. then I could go a little higher :-)

ACA 1231 it is, now the wait for it turn up.

[CritAnime]

ACA 630 @ 25mhz but can't remember what that is in Mips.

kind of sad because I don't have that card anymore.

my 50mhz 060 only gets 65.31 in SysSpeed & 38.51 in SysInfo... maybe you are thinking 80mhz 060 or some super fast prototype ACA 1260

I think it's about 7Mips stock, I overclocked mine to 40mhz and got 9.37Mips

Sold it though and got an ACA620EC as it wasn't seeing much use, that gets 3.47Mips

[CritAnime]

Yeah it was a stock card. I was considering trying to clock it but I figured I wouldn't attempt it lol.

Bought a ACA 1231/42, just have to wait for it's arrival. Appears to be the best value.

Not sure why Amigakit isn't selling them so went through Vesalia. Looked at the ACA 1232, more RAM but slower.

Interesting to see some actual benchmarks being posted. Took some digging to find information about the ACA 1230.

I noticed with the ACA 1230 it has a removable CPU (without soldering), that could be interesting ;-)

It would have been nice, to have a socket for a FPU.

Those programs do not report the correct MIPS for 060. They lie. Forget about them.

Its dead easy to write a program that runs at 149 MIPS on 50Mhz 060.

The 060 has 2 integer cores so that is 100 MIPS right there. Plus all predicted branches happen magically for free. So that is 150 MIPS.

An 80Mhz 060 runs at 240 MIPS.

wikipedia SAYS:
Performance ~88 Mips @ 66 MHz
~110 Mips @ 75 MHz
~36 MFlops @ 66 MHz
