Yes you would need a GFX card with it to get good speed, allthough I
dont own an A4000.
For word-processig it should be fine.

It is quite slow except in 2 or 16 colourmode,
2 colour mode is quite fast (Because it doesnt need a Chunky to Planner
,so I read somewhere).
 16 colour mode with the driver of the Aminet(which requires an MMU) is
just a touch slower than 2 colour mode.
I must stress the point that you really should register SS to allow use
of the SCSI and the speed increasing partition options, which I have not
done.
But dont worry Christian B. I will soon.
