- I have an ADSpeed. It was originally installed in my A1000, now it's in my
- A2000. It seems to work as advertised. The benchmark programs available as
- actually do show about a twofold speed increase. I bought it primarily for
- speeding up my spreadsheets. A recalc actually went more than two times as
- fast so that pleased me. The problem I had with it on the A1000 was that I
- converted to 2.0 at the same time (with a Kwickstart II) and the unit became
- too unstable. When I acquired the 2000, I made the 1000 the 1.3 machine and
- the 2000 the sped up 2.0 machine. In summary, for the money it delivers the
- added speed. It's easy to install. Overall the machine does run faster but
- not everything runs twice as fast and not everything sees a speed improvement.
- Gord.
