	As long as you are cross-posting misleading information
(if you didn't realize, look at the Newsgroups: line of your
message, you sent into to both ST and Amiga groups), let me
`clarify' things.

	True, the A3000 is only 25MHz, although you can go to
18MB on the motherboard and more on cards. However the 33MHz on
your ST is NOT from Atari, but rather with 3rd party equipment.
Therefore it is fair to consider what can be done on the Amiga
with 3rd party equipment, and for appr. 8 months GVP has been
shipping a 50MHz 030 card for the Amiga 2000, so you don't have
to wait.
	Besides, once the 040 starts getting more widespread
50MHz 030s will be a dead issue. The 040 will be the hot issue
and the Amiga (and I assume the Atari too) will be getting addon
boards probably within 3 months.

	Hehe, nah, I won't say it. 8-)
