Not 16 gig as you said. The physical address limit for 32 bit microproccessors is 4 gigs, and most people won't reach 1 gig., so there shouldn't be any problem. The 3000 ca use 4096 colors, but with 24 and 32(?) bit boards on the way, this isn't a problem either. If you need networking check out Commodore's net system, or Great Valley Products (GVP). Yo can find GVP in AmigaWorld... email replies requested... -Joseph Hillenburg InterNet: joseph@valnet UUCP: iuvax!valnet!joseph PC-Link: Joe Hillenburg Most other systems: Joseph Hillenburg Don't buy a computer unless it's an Amiga - Me - AMIGA RULES! - AMIGA RUL
