Easily bring an Apple II up to the performance level of an Amiga?

Oh, please.

An 8-bit machine rivalling a machine like an Amiga 3000 (25MHZ 68030, full
32-bit architecture). Sure

Or even a 7.14Mhz Amiga 500 with a 68000 and 16 bit bus. No way.

If you want to compare Mac IIs to Amigas, that's fine. But an Apple II?

No way.
