- The board with at 100 MHz lists for $3045 with 32 MB RAM. The 133MHz version will
- list at $3495, but it won't be available until 1st Q. next year. It requires a VLB mother

- Shablamm's phone number is (800) 742-2526. For an unbiased report on the speed
- increase over an 040 40MHz see VTU, Nov 94, p. 58. It varies depending on the scene.
- Shablamm advertises a 2-3x increase over the P90.
