HP (UK) are doing a promotion at the moment whereby they will upgrade
a 9000/300 by putting in a 68040 processor, give the machine a
total of 16Mb internal memory and add a standard SCSI port (amongst
a few other things).  Has anyone else had experiences of such a
deal?  We have been quoted #2200 (UK pounds) to do two such machines.
Is the 68040 significantly faster than the 68020?

Many thanks for any comments/views,
