	OK folks, I just got a 68020, with a 68881 (20 Mhz) for my B2000
REV 3.9 .  Its the CSA Turbo Board, and I must say FASTMAN is VERY FAST!  But
thats the ONLY thing that was fast.  I expected perhaps dos to speed up a bit
maybe even dare I say math functions should go much faster even if the 
software doesnt directly address the 68020.  Well since I only have the
very first version of Sculpt 3-d and its a slow dog, I decided to run that
to benchmark..  On a picture that normaly takes 12 hours to make with a 68000
it took sculpt 11.5 hours with the 68020 and 20 Mhz 68881.  Mow I must admit
I tried using MANX 3.4b and the +2 and +f8 options on several c programs and
on one, I noticed instead of taking Perry's balls.c demo 80 seconds to creat
and run the balls, it took 30 seconds..  kind-of impresive..  but I dont 
believe this HYPE about 60 Hour Scuplts taking 45 minutes ..  Also if only
a handfull of Amiga applications have to address the 68020 and 68881 directly
what good is a 68020 in my amiga?  If anyone has any Serious speed benchmarks
and would not mind sending (email) them to me, please do so.  Id love to see    
the difference
