I know it has been written a thousand times already, but I must agree.  The amount of improvement between an A2000 and the A3000 was very disappointing for almost all Amiga buyers when the A3000 was first released.  I like the A3000, but it was clear that Commodore was failing miserably in developing the Amiga (as well as marketing it) when the A3000 was released and there had been almost no improvement in the Amiga custom chipset over the A500/A2000 and then an even bigger disappointment was in store for us when the A4000 was released with no flicker fixer, no SCSI controller, slow IDE and RAM access speed and AGA was behind VGA cards that were available at the same time.

Unless you need Zorro3 for something, or if you don't have a decent video card and accelerator for your A2000, don't switch.  Just re-read and saw your A2000 specs and what you want from an A3000.  Don't switch!



Well it depends on what you want to do.. Vlab Motion+Toccata+Retina Z3..um then the A3000 is a pretty good choice.  :-)..

yeah tis a shame what the big wigs did to Commodore.. mm where would it be today..
