3000 vs 4000?

[magnetic]

Umm the A4000 blows the 3k away in so many ways its not even funny. Ever try to work on an A3000? It sux. The way its designed its way to small, so to change even minor chips you have to take apart the whole thing it sucks.. not only that but zorris very cramped area so if you are heavily expanding it will get hot..  No AGA, no 5.25 drive bay... its BEIGE not nice white like A4k etc etc etc

Service tech? Lol every amiga user is this by now... I an assure you the A3k is the WORST Amiga to Repair/Fix due to case design and small space. PERIOD there is no argument there you can mount. As far as socketed vs SMD i do agree, but to be honest no a4k i 've ever had had an smd component failure (except CIA from user error)

so A3k vs a4k isnt even a challenge. THE ONLY thing good is the VGA ff output (but guess what VERY prone to failure)

I've probably built/upgraded/ fixed more A3000s than you have ever even seen in person!

Oh, and I forgot the best part if you want to turn the A3k into a power box, you have to Remove the motheroboard and run the INT2 HACK. Thats fun.. not.  Also, good luck finding an accel that fits in the a3k .

First why the hell do you have so many amigas? i dont get it...

Anyway I forgot about the A3k battery. Oh man when that thing leaks, there are components all around it the WORST of all the amigas!

Also AGA isnt just for games. If you do serious graphics or toaster AGA is invaluable.
