- 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..
