I'm wondering...if someone were planning on upgrading their A3000 as soon as
'040 cards are available, would there be any difference in performance between
an A3000-16/50 and an A3000-25/50?  
 
I'm aware that the two machines have different BUSTER chips...but would there
be a difference in throughput across ZORRO ]I[ on the two machines (ie:
A3000-25/50 = 20MB/sec...while...A3000-16/50 = 12MB/sec (is this due to
different CPUs?))?
 
While the cost between the two machines is fairly minimal when you consider
the performance difference (and I've already paid for my A3000-25/50), I'd
like to be able to suggest purchase and upgrade paths for some of my
customers, and this info would be most helpful.
 
Thanks in advance...
 
Sean
