- That's not such a bad idea. In fact, in ACAR, an oz mag they reported that
- there is a rumour that GVP may be releasing an add on for their GForce cards
- with AGA chips on them. Even if its true then a3000 owners are still screwed
- (if thats how you feel) cause the a3000 040 GForce card doesn't have that slot
- on it (that I know of).

- Just get a DMI card or wait till next year...

- An 040 card alone will cost more than a trade up to a4000. (at present)
