- Probably not. This is about the right price range for a set of accel-
- erator options - $399 for the main board, more for the board+33MHz'040, $1200
- for (maybe) board+33MHz'040+cache+memory or something like that - I've seen
- similar configurations for accelerators on the Mac. Remember, that 33'040 is
- one _expensive_ chip. Of course, the accelerator range may take into account
- a lower model that has a 32MHz'030.
-
- Remember take this with a salt shaker, as it is all speculation anyway.
- Heck, until it is announced, the Falcon is speculation too (its just gotten a
- lot of free press before it is born :).
