I've currently got a 4/110GX with an FPU2, and while I'm still satisfied
with its performance, am wondering about upgrade possibilities.  I have
read of people swapping in 4/330 processor boards to produce a 4/310, and
wonder if anyone out there in netland has done this.  If so, was the price
prohibitive?  Would I be better off just maxing out disk and memory on the
4/110 I've got?  My understanding is that the 4/110 SCSI interface (sw or
scsi-weird) is not the most efficient, but I could be wrong.

Thanks for any input,
Jeffrey Katcher
