- One more vote for the 3000, especially if you are on a budget. I ran across
- one for only $750 (15K monitor, 25mhz/030, 68882FPU &200M of Drive space) & I
- still have 3 zorroIII and 2PCslots (if you want to run a MAC or PC emulator).
- With a GFX card and OS3.1, the drawbacks of not having the AGA chipset are
- minimal (unless of course you are a game hound).
