That wasn't an Amiga 3000 you saw since there aren't yet any processor
upgrades for the A3000. What you saw was an Amiga 2000 with GVP's 50 Mhz
68030 processor board... which is about twice as fast as the Commdoore
A2630 25 Mhz 68030 board I have in my A2000. Since my board tests out
at 7.61 MIPS the GVP board should rate out at about 15 MIPS, not as good
as any 68040 based board.. but you still can't buy those yet.
