  The BridgeBoard, like most IBM compatibles, does not guarantee that all
  software will run, but it has been tested with a wide variety of
  products. The PC slots in the A2000 will accept just about any PC
  hardware (again, no ironclad guarantees), including VGA cards.

  It all depends on your personal needs. How many slots do you need?
  What applications do you intend to use? Is a 5.25" floppy acceptable?
