- I know hardly anything about these PowerPC boards, so can someone answer
- a few (maybe dumb) questions for me?
-
- What kind of speed will it have compared to an actual PowerPC? I had an
- EMPLANT Deluxe in my A3000/030 awhile ago, and it ran dreadfully slow. I
- don't want to have to add a 68060 to my A3000 to get something
- half-usable, so I'm hoping this board will be decent in terms of
- compatibility and speed.
-
- Also, what kind of projected price range will we be looking at? Will
- there be any special requirements for this board, such as a minimun
- amount of memory or processor, or a fast graphics card, etc.?

- Thnaks.
