- I think I answered this in another newsgroup already, but here goes:
- You can't put the AGA chips in the A3000. Plain and simple. The AGA chips
- require more system bandwidth than the A3000 has (four times more, as a matter
- of fact). It's not going to happen. Even if a hack got the AGA chips running
- in an A3000, the chips couldn't make use of the new graphics modes because
- the bandwidth isn't there.
- Did I say that the bandwidth isn't there? Well, it isn't.
- Oh, BTW, the bandwidth isn't there.
- It's not going to happen.
