Inserting a comma at the appropriate place makes the statement clear.

"	The recently announced Amiga 2500/30 model, sporting a 68030
	processor running at 25 megahertz (sic), 2 megabytes of RAM, a
	math co-processor and a 40-megabyte hard drive, costs more than
	$2,000, less than its Macintosh IIci counterpart.
