	   7.6? Wow! I've almost bragged over my 5 MIPS. (ie. it's true!)

	   As I understand the A3000 with AMaxII even runs Mac-programs faster
   than the Mac IIfx because of 1) the blitter (or whatever displaythingy there's
   doing the job) and 2) only the 68030 and the cache is 40 MHz in the Mac. The
   rest of the computer (memory etc.) runs on 20 MHz. I'm not familiar with
   how much the NuBus does.

Too bad there was some guy in comp.sys.mac a while back who wanted to
know how a Mac IIfx compared to the Amiga 3000.  The Mac people told
the IIfx was better(surprise).  Can anyone verify this guy's post?
Also, will AMax run System 7.0?
