Title: Looking for a CPU upgrade on my A4000D
Post by: tonyvdb on December 22, 2005, 05:58:08 PM
Hi guys,

I am looking for some sort of CPU upgrade for my A4000D. I have the stock 3640 040 board right now.
I use my Amiga for mostly Video editing with the Video Toaster 4000 Flyer system installed. I have also used alot of Lightwave that is of course included.
Here is my problem I want something that will boost the speed of the rendering as well as give me more memory for when I run  projects in the switcher. Un fortunantly for me I just do not have the cash to aford to buy one off eBay so I would like to see if somone wants to do a trade? I have at least four items that I can let go of.
1) a Video Toster 4000 card in great condition in original box manual and 4.2 software.
2) an Opalvision 24bit graphics card with the software downloaded and installed on a CDrom.
3) an amiga 3000T flopy drive in great working condition.
4) amiga 3.0 roms, 2.04 roms and 2.05 workbench install flopies.

If anyone is willing to trade to help my cause I would be very greatful hopfuly someone in my area can help. (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) :crazy:

Damn thats going to be tough as a 4000 accelerator like a Warp Engine 4040 or a Cyberstor 060 board is worth your right arm on ebay these days, lol  Maybe some nice person up in canada can help you out, I dont have a spare one card, I use mine daily.  Anyone in the xmas spirit?  :P

And I may be willing to let go of my Digital Personal TBC IV and Desktop RC 2000 remote controler.

You might get away with a trade for a Quaddoubler... But I doubt anyone would be willing to part with a Cyberstorm for less than US$500.

Yep I saw "new" ones at SoftHut for 900. I have a CSPPC but honestly I cannot discern the speed difference between 060 and PPC.

Thats what I say, $500US is way over inflated. I have seen many  go for around $300 Thats like the one guy in Calgary Alberta who is selling a top of the line one for $1500 on eBay. He is dreaming. :-o

That unit is the PPC. They go for more.
The 060 MK2 is worth 250-450 US

Sorry, I should have said a CSPPC @ US$500+

@Effy - That is a pretty good deal tho.
