Do you think it would be a good trade if I traded my GBA1000 for a working A3000D?

Thanks.

P.S.
It is a blank board.

A Blank GBA1000 for a working A3000D ?

Geezus where did you find the guy, that's like offering $5 for a Ferrari F40.

If you are that comfortable with the offer, take him up on the offer, then buy ANOTHER GBA1000, and use the chips from the A3000D to populate the GBA1000.  Thats one HELL of a cheap way to source the chips needed for the GBA.

Why should he do that? an A1000 can never be as fast as an A3000! right?

It can, if you have the GBA1000, its that new motherboard that was released to the Amiga Community.

It is basically an A1000 Motherboard, with the chipset of an A3000 (it uses the A3000 chips), and according to sysinfo, at *LEAST* twice as fast.  (Cant keep up with a 4000 though.).

so the intent is, to swap a BLANK GBA board for a fully working 3000, then all you do is take the components from the A3000 and solder them to another purchased GBA board and you end up with an A1000 that can at least DOUBLE the speed of an A3000.
