: >Don't go for an A2000, they're old, slow, and very obsolete. They give you : >5 slots, which might be useful if you need 4 serial ports and 2 ethernet : >cards, but other than that, forget it. : 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. Maverick halesk@xmission.xmission.com US ARMY Spanish Lang.
