Crotinger) Newsgroups: comp.unix.amiga Subject: A3000UX: 16 vs 25 MHz version, Power-Up questions. Keywords: A3000, Amiga, 68040, Power-Up Message-ID: Date: 10 Jun 91 16:40:39 GMT Sender: usenet@lll-winken.LLNL.GOV Lines: 20 Nntp-Posting-Host: sundance.llnl.gov I have some questions concerning A3000's and the future '040 accelerator boards for them. If I buy a 16 MHz A3000 and add an '040 board to it, will the resulting machine be as fast as a 25 MHz A3000 with the same board in it? (Aside from the obvious difference if you use the '030 as a coprocessor.) The bus runs at the same speed in both machines, right? Any other differences? Also, it has been mentioned that the Power-Up program applies to the A3000UX machines. What is the Power-Up price for the various UX machines? Is it still a flat $1500 off? Is this as good as the Educational deal? Thanks for the info. Jim -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- James A.
