You might want to state how much RAM is on the 68040 card.  It might help people decide.  :)

Done! I wasn't 100% certain, but ShowConfig has just confirmed that it currently has 64meg of RAM :)

64MB?  Nice.  I have one in my A4000 and it is a great card.  Doesn't it work fine in the A3000 too?

How far behind an 060?  Can you quantify?

On programs, demos and games designed for 040 or lower cpus it is about 20% slower than a 060.
On 060 specific built apps (which there are not so many), it may be even slower, depending on the app.

Yes, it would appear so Darrin as it says at the Big Book Of Amiga Hardware:-


Quote
Connects To: CPU Fast Slot (A3000/A4000)

Processor:     040@40Mhz, 040@33Mhz, 040@28Mhz
FPU:     Internal
MMU:     Internal
Max Ram:     128MB
Ram Type:     4 x 72pin SIMM slots
I said "for the A4000" so that members would know that it wasn't for the A1200. But having said that, I've got this board for the A1200 Tower onto which A4000 CPU cards fit perfectly.......

So prehaps it could even work in an A1200 Tower too :)

In the very remote chance that you still have this in 2 months, I'd love to take that 040 off your hands :)

Ok runrequester,

I did see your thread about what Amiga you should buy next and think to myself "This is what he needs" :)

It looks like I should be the happy owner of a 3000 very soon, so yes, its exactly what I need :D

Congrats on the 3k, I have always been fond of the 3000.  I know you will enjoy it.

I don't think the 4000 version of the warp engine fits in a 3k desktop.  You will need the 3k version for that.

I would recommend the warp engine over the cyberstorm for a 040.  I have had both over the years, and it worked better for me.

Good luck!

Can someone verify this?

It will fit with modifications to the drive sled (read: cutting metal.)  The vertical SIMMs are generally too tall, the 3000 version has angled SIMM sockets (and only two of them for 64MB max, at that. 4000 version supports 128MB.)

edit: also, the SIMM sockets stick out further on the 4000 version and may interfere with part of the case, I seem to recall this issue as well.

Like Tone mentioned, it would require modification, both floppy bays would likely be blocked by the vertical SIMMs.

You definitely want something with angled SIMM sockets. Even then - and especially with an '040 - you'll want to cut out part of the drive cage where the second floppy would sit, so there's room for mounting a heatsink/fan over the CPU.

I also agree with the above, the WarpEngine is a much better accelerator than an '040 MKII.

The 3k version is tight with no modifications, I have never installed a 4000 version in a 3000 but I would bet it would be an effort even beyond hacking the tray...

Importantly, I think only the 3k version had the CIA jumper wire so you can use the fast scsi II controller on board.  The SCSI controller is really nice I remember it being really fast...

The 3000 version maxed out at 64mb ram, where the 4000 version maxed at 128 mb.

I installed this well over 10 years ago, so I'm fuzzy on the details...

64 megs is plenty, but I dont think Im up to hacking away at my poor 3000 when she gets here, so I think I'll pass. Thanks though!

Unfortunately I've withdrawn my offer for the WarpEngine so unless anyone else snagged it, it should still be up for grabs.

A4000_Mad:  Sorry, I would have never thought a boxed CSMK2 060 would fall in my lap the day after making an offer on your WE. The deal was just too sweet to pass up.  :(
