    There are lots of scopes under $500 that have higher bandwidth, but for me personally in that price range I would be happy with a 2 channel 100 MHz scope and as much memory as possible. A good question…

    I am a senior software engineer I have done assembly on IBM 370 to writing stored procedures for large database. I want to to go back and learn the hardware of how cpu's, ram and etc work. I bought a FPGA developer board and been having a blast with it. But I wan to look at the singles and such. I just not sure if a 100mhz scope with at least 2 channels is enough.  I have a budge of around $500. i can solder but not a big fan of it.

     

    I want to add I need to look at composite video signles too from C64 - Atri - ti 99/4a.s

    A good question for the members is what scope model do they think is the best value in that price range...
