If you only want a little more speed, you're better off getting an accelerator for your 2000. A 4000 is a good choice if you need *both* AGA and Zorro III slots for further expansion. I think a stock 4000 is going to be $600 these days, minimum. Probably more.


And a faster Workbench/OS. There's a fair usability and experience difference between my A2000 040 and my A4000D 040 in 3.9.

I think $990 is a fair price. Do you wanna buy one? :)

C'mon Gertsy, you know Americans can't afford $A990 with their economy trumpily about to crash ;)

I think you will probably find the opposite is true Kesa. He may be a dick but he knows how to make money make money and make jobs make jobs. My key point was that the UX on a 4000 is faster and more usable/productive than that of a 2000, even when both have a similar 040 in them. That's one of the reasons my 2000 is sleeping in storage while my 4000 is on the desk I sit at.
@rob, You might need to be a vampire to be around long enough to see it come out. ;)
