Ahh...but by saying he needed to compare the A3000 with the ][ci, you're only
taking into account cpu speed.  
 
What about the higher thru-put of the A3000's SCSI DMA?  Or the fact that the
A3000 doesn't have a 5Mb/sec bottleneck when peripheral cards talk to RAM on
the motherboard?
 
An ultrafast CPU is nice...but a higher degree of performance can be attained,
and maintained by a balanced machine...
