I think that both have there problems and here is why I think that:

I have a A-500 1MEG Chip RAM, GVP A-530 (63030/40, 4MEGS 32-bit Fast RAM). 
When I upgraded to OS 3.1 not to long ago from 2.1, I noticed that the OS was 
now using alot more CPU time then the older OS.

So I agree that he could use a accelerator, but diffinetly needs one it he 
goes to a newer OS. This being the case, if we do see OS 4.x, then without 
question he would need one at this rate.

But if he desides that he doesn't want a accelerator, then he might be better 
off not getting a OS upgrade.

Just some thoughts on the matter,
