- And it loses the CPU board, I heard. The CPU is mounted on the main card
- itself, rather than on a plug in module.
-
- Whether this prevents CPU updates, I don't know. The Cyberstorm is a bulky
- card, with a plug in cpu card and separate memory card. Add the size for the
- plug-in SCSI card, and it takes up all of the space in a 4000, front to back,
- and all of the height as well.
-
- I chose not to wait, as I put mine in a 4000, and the actual price
- difference, configured, looked to be less than $200 US from my dealer. But
- maybe I'm just impatient...
