- How about a Q700 with a 33MHz 040? You still get the built-in
- ethernet, plus you get both a Nubus AND a PDS (rather than one or the
- other-- you can also choose two Nubus slots)-- but you are pretty
- close. You can get this today with a Q700 w/accelerator (actually I
- think it only makes it to 32MHz, but that's pretty close), or, rumor
- has it, very soon, with the Q800.
-
- Cost? Around $4000 would be my guess.
