- I am looking too to upgrade my 500.
- Here is what I have gathered so far:
-
- The GVP A530 seems the best solution. In europe it is not much more expensive
- than the Mega Midget Racer or VXL solutions, and seems much safer than all
- these german "hacked" accelarators...
- Besides I want a HD too, and then the GVP is then cheaper than say a VXL +
- HD...
-
- But: the price of a GVP is VERY close from a A3000, so I am waiting till the
- announcment of the new models... may be there will be discounts on 3000s,
- putting them at the same price as a GVP ?
-
- PS: all sources seems to indicate that you can just unsocket the EC on any
- current accelerator and put a full 030 in the same place...
