amiga 3000 vs amiga 4000

[justthatgood]

Let's say this.  I love my Amiga 4000's.  I have 2 of my own and an Amiga 2000.

Pluto, which is my first Amiga 4000, has the 3.1 roms in her, has a CyberVision GFX card, and soon will become my towered beauty  with a Voodoo(haven't decided Mediator or Promo).

Cecilia, my other Amiga 4000, has her set of 3.1 roms coming any day now.  She is going to be using all SCSI once I change out the icky Rev .9 Super Buster of hers.

Amanda, my Amiga 2000, is just my video toaster baby.

As always, try to get a 4000 with a Super Buster 11, check the  better next to the memory chips on the motherboard.  Demand the full 16Megs of fast memory. No reason you should get one without it. Enjoy.

The only 3000 I would get would be a 3000UX.  My high school had one, and just last week I saw a guy that had on of those 3000UX running AMIX, and a farm load of AMD FX-51's in a cluster. I tell you them freaky Unix geeks.

Hence both tend to be really hard to find in some places.  Not everyone needs nor wants to endure the price gouging of SCSI.  I know all to well the suffering that many people have paid to keep their systems SCSI.  In some circumstances, people would rather take a little bit of a CPU load hit, use very easily found IDE , then have to replace then with expensive SCSI counterparts.


I'm sure all over Europe they have SCSI stuff flowing from the brims and walls of every country.  But over here in the USA (that's right, what's suppose to be the most finacially packing country in the world) not all cities and many states have a lot of scsi stuff in it.  Unless you goto trade shows (most of the good stuff gets snatched up quick), go out of state (if you have the time), go on eBay (wait on shipping, and risk dealing with rude sellers).


And yes I do like having a internal CD-RW.  That's just me...

Great, see what you have caused.  You thought you have asked a simple, innocent question, but you have unleashed the mighty battle of the Big Boxes.  I hope all the mud flinging has given you something to think about.


BTW A4000's rule  :-D
