Amiga 4000 speed issues!

[MaDDuck]

Gentz-
I just mounted my A1200 HDD into my A4000 using the correct adapter and it works correctly with no drive-related issues.

The A1200 from which the drive came from had 128MB of RAM, DCE 68040 @ 33Mhz. Scan Magic.

The A4000 has 12MB or RAM the battery killed a SIMM socket before I could get to it.
While running SYSINFO, it is showing that I am running SLOWER than a stock A4000, and it feels slower too.

I understand that the A1200 was faster and had more RAM, but this is a small jump from 33 Mhz, to 25 Mhz.

Should I replace the 68040 library?

Any suggestions?

Is there any thing else I need to do when going from one 68040 to another??

Thanks!

According to SYSINFO, I am .77!!!

BTW, I am running KS3.1, and WB 3.9

I've already killed the clock, workbench and window background pictures, and reduced the color palette.
It didn't help much!

SO............
Now all I have to do is unload the DCE 68040 @ 33 with the SCSI card and get a faster card for the A4000!

oh, and.......
it feels MUCH slower, almost as bad as my OLD A3000 with an 68030 @ 25 in it.

It's just too darn slow!


AND also the Scan Magic wil not show any blue at all!?!?
Any suggestions? I tried it in two Amigas, a A1200, and A4000. and on two different monitors- same thing!
Looks fine, works great- just no BLUE!

Any one want to swap a DCE 68040 @ 25Mhz. and SCSI add on board for ANY 68040 A4000 board other than the stock Commodore one???


I just thought I'd ask......
I've had VERY good luck swapping with fellow Amiga.org ppl!

[MaDDuck]

good point......

In the (not too distant) future, I see adding a graphics card and perhaps a Mirage PCI setup.

But for now, a faster processor will make Quake and Breathless more bearable!

And it might also help my general performance and speed up my web browsing, and other non-FPS related things.
