Hi,
@paulgerman
I own both, and I like the A4000 more.
Not only does it play better games, but when you really look at it, the A3000 and the A4000 cost just about the same to upgrade, the A4000 has IDE and AGA, the A3000 has SCSI and can use VGA monitors. In order to use IDE on A3000 you have to buy expensive card, in order to use SCSI you can buy one from ebay at good price, in order to use VGA on A4000 you must buy a graphics card ( I have Picasso II)
A3000 has 880K floppy, A4000 has high density floppy.
I like my A4000 better.
For speed you have to buy A3640 card for A3000 most A4000 are 040 ready.
