- Nope, they are not, got my 1260 last week and I live in Sweden.
- What can I tell you, it works like a charm, and raytracing has never been so
- much fun. Every well written program works well and extremly fast, but
- hardcoded programs for the 020/030 goes a lot slower than on a standard 020,
- and this is a bit irritating, so if you are going to play e.g breathless, then
- you have to turn off the board so you can't even use the fastmem.
- If you don't turn it off you only get around 1-2 fps.
- But if you doesen't play so many games then it's a good investment.
- I just looove it :)
