- Obviously, it gave disapointing numbers because of the fact that this thing
- has no FAST ram on it. Its running out of chip ram. With fast ram
- installed, you should get a speed increase of roughly double. SIGH, as
- usual it looks like Commodork left out things: there should be at least
- SOME fast ram, and the clock chip should be built in! I hope it doesnt
- ship with an 880K floppy but it probably will. Still a fairly nice
- machine, though, but geeze! I hope they at least have a fast ram + clock
- card available *real* soon.
