: Shheeea!  As if!  I have built 2000 systems that would BLOW AWAY ANY A4000
: or A3000 system, and is used is EXTREMELY high end video production.....
: and had to pack out ALL the card slots!  The A2000 was a WONDERFUL piece
: of work...  C= knew that you guys played MCUH more games than we did and
: did not use the Amiga for as much PRODUCTIVITY... why do youthink the 
: A1500 was marketed over there and not here?

There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY a 2000 of ANY kind could outperform a 
4000-40.  The simple fact that a 2000 has a 16 bit bus would preclude 
it from running 32 bit bus as in a 4000.  The 3000 was the best Amiga 
design IMHO and you can plug a cyberGFX board into it and have better 
than a 4000 in many ways.

Even a 1200 will out perform a 2000 for the money.  Sure, spend $1500 
and you can get your 2000 to almost outdo a 3000, but not quite.
