I am currently using an A4000 with a CS Mk II '060 and would like to start building up another Amiga, an A3000. My question is can I bung the old '040 card that came with the A4000 in the A3000 or will I have to buy a new accelerator? I couldn't bare to imagine what it must be like to use a 25mhz '030 after all these years!
It should work okay, though you are going to need a low-profile heat sink or cut a hole in the right end of the drive platform. A fan would help too.
The 68030 is still a pretty capable processor, especially if you throw a graphics card in the a3000. It's fine for internet, general use, etc. But if you plan on using the a3640 you also are going to need expensive zip ram or a zip to simm converter card.
