The CV64 is perfect for the 3000, I have one in mine and it's awesome! The PIV scandoubler does produce a noticeably sharper picture than Amber in the 3000, only downside is it's nearly impossible to configure perfect scrolling PAL/NTSC modes for games, thanks to the cumbersome configuration software. Still, I would prefer a PIV in a 2000 or 4000, and a CV64 for the 3000.
