Bah ! The way the case is built totally irrelevant, the functionality is all it counts. The A2000 is condemned to Zorro II bus, which is a real bummer as it's 16 bit and slow. It's good for old school gaming, but pointless to upgrade to a gfx board/ethernet. IT crawls (I have a A2000 with GVP040(33MHz)/32mb ram/ ECS spectrum/ X-surf, so I know what I'm talking about). My A3000 on the other hand, flies when compared to the A2000 with a warp engine(28MHz) and picassoII board.

It would still be slow ... The only way to make a snappy A2000 is to have a gfx board in a 32 bit space instead of zorro 2 space. GVPs G-Force cards have a special expansion for a special kind of spectrum card. It would be snappy and fast cause it will be on its 32 bit bus.

I bet my A3000 with warp engine/picasso2 would feel snappier than the A2000 picassoIV/060 combo.
