Hi,
you can only get the advantages of the 040 with an adequate RAM-Design
and if you can use the new Cache-Modes (delayed write back etc.) correctly.
OS 1.3 and 2.0 can not correctly use these new Modes, so the advantage will only
be seen under a new OS like Unix and if you add additional RAM to the 040-Board.
Simply adding the 040 to the A3000 only raises the FPU-Performance.

Bye, Helmut.
