Bummer...GVP did some strange things. Custom RAM chips from what I've
heard as well :(

Yes, I agree, expensive.
But if you want more than 256 colours then a graphics card it is.
Ebay as well as marketplace are good.
I wanted to get some more use out of my machine so the graphics card and a ethernet
card were the
first two ways to do it. I only run a 030@33MHz but it's enough as the
Amiga is so efficient. I play MP3's o.k. as well.
I put money aside, in a jar in the cubboard would you believe. It
works out at about $4 or $5 per week aka $200-$250 per year and I
usually split it into software and hardware. If i need to (or get
tempted) I top it up, like this year, the two cards cost me $$230 and
I've already spent about $120 on software. Saying that, I am having
fun :)
