Personally I've decided to wait on the '040 CPUs and see what >carrot Apple throws my way. Having just upgraded one of my machines (a NeXT) from an '030 to an '040, I can say that the apparent performance increment is *large*, even keeping the clock rate the same. You may have yawned going from the '020 to the '030; you'll wake up for the '040. However: I spent $1000 for my upgrade, and that's from NeXT, which generally operates on very small margins for their cpu's. I'd expect an '030 -> '040 upgrade from Apple to be a pricey thing indeed. Of course, as more '040's become available, prices will probably fall. -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner
