- I would suggest you look at Lightwave on the NewTek Video Toaster,
- especially if you are going to do any animation.
-
- A 486 machine will be slightly faster than an Amiga 3000. The Amiga 4000
- will outperform a 486.
-
- The only animation software that runs on the IBM that I have seen for a
- reasonable price is Will Vinton's Playmation (available first on the Amiga).
-
- The Video Toaster will not fit in the Amiga 4000, but there are 68040
- cards for both the 3000 (which has to be slightly modified to accept a
- Toaster) and the 2000.
