Hi
I have tried responsive templates but it always give me problems. Images that does not fit and header text splitting ( some of the text at the top of the image and the rest below image ). It looks really awful in some mobil versions. Slow down speed etc etc
That why I decided to use a non responsive templates and with bigger text. And the template must be very fast, thats why I looking at the Afterburner 1 and 2 and have some questions about it
1 Is afterburner much faster than Afterburner 2 ?
2 Will afterburner 2 be faster if I use the non responsive version
3 I will use a Slots machine made with DHTML, Mootools and CSS and alphauserpoints..can I do this with afterburner 1
Thanks

Before all of those questions, my suggestion would be Afterburner2 simply because its newer code and more up to date with everything else we offer. Afterburner1 is from 2009 so you're almost hitting 5 years old for that one. Afterburner2 is still very recent being this year.
As far as responsive code and the issues you say you're having, it does take more work to get things loaded in correctly, but the tools are available to make it all work. For some text above an image and some text below, that sounds like a bad code issue. Maybe check the demos for some samples.
Any speed difference you might notice between having a template locked to a specific width verses being responsive I would think would be so negligible that it's not even worth worrying about. Having something display on more devices really is a big benefit with the only cost being attention to the content code.
That's my 2cents.

Hosting is the biggest aspect when it comes to speed. Look at the Split-Shared hosting plans here for fast hosting:
Crucial Web Host
I use these plans for Magento and that is a much bigger and cumbersome system than Joomla or Wordpress and the sites are still fast. I also run Joomla on these plans as well which is really quick.
