I will be buying a 50Mhz 030 for my CD32 when it's available.  Really, though,
040s and 060s are a bit of a waste as AGA holds them back so much, and
nobody codes anything that needs the power.  I mean, AB3D II will be fine
with a 50Mhz 030, so why go the extra expense?  For the money you'd pay for
an 060 accelerator, you could buy a whole Pentium system to do your number
crunching on, leaving the Amiga for fun.  That's how I'll probably do it..
