	An Amiga might be nearer to a 750 in processor power, but not in
IO bandwidth... that's the major difference between, say, a PC-AT and a
UNIX 68020 box.  Placing a 68020 in your amiga may make the processor
faster than, say, that of a VAX780, but you'll never get the bandwidth
the 780's VAXBI bus gives it.

	So, if you don't run out of memory, and don't need to do large 
amounts of IO.....
