I am looking for opinions on whether this is normal.

Skate, the ram expansion is not accelerator
same speed as Default,i test it now on my A1200 + Bllizard 030+ fpu/64MB and running very well..
ram expansion is good only for running all  of Whdload games (some need more to 4mb)
thanks to my Teachers: Horace and FOL..

it has a 33mhz fpu on it too and it does help, just not as much as I thought it would 

Oh well...

[Anemos]

FPU NOT support for many many  programs and games..(i think very less ..)  (dunno for Frontier if need also FPU)
you need powerful CPU and that is on accelerators only , i know is expensive but...

FPU makes no difference to Frontier.

There is -maybe- one port of Quake or Doom which will take advantage of the FPU, although i've yet to see any confirmation of that. Even with Demos i dont think there are many/any that will use it.

Some, and a very limitted, number of Apps will take advantage of it. But you are talking 3D rendering and stuff like that which involves large amounts of mathematics.

I would have thought the ram expansion would have made a fair bit of difference to Frontier.... given that the 020 sees very little improvement over the 68000 without fastram, although remember this is only a jump from 7mhz -> 14 mhz.... and not like having an 030 which could potentiall be up to 50 mhz, as some of us are used to
