Why not use WinUAE on a <5 year old Windows PC. Upgrading an A3000/A4000 these days is horribly expensive, and the WinUAE will run circles around even the fastest Amiga renders.
Yes I was going to suggest this as well. I have an A4000 060, Cybervision 64, scan doubler, basically what you are aspiring to, and i no longer use it to do CPU-intensive stuff like 3d rendering or image processing as WinUAE is so much faster (and cheaper for you). And the results are every bit as good.
If you are rendering 3d animations Lightwave works much faster on Winuae than it ever did on a real Amiga, and Winuae lets you save the output as an mpeg, or if you want you can copy your animation onto a compact flash card and play it off an A1200 straight into a TV or good old videotape.
Unfortunately these days I-well actually my 12 year old son-use my A1200 '020 with 8 meg ram more than my A4000, mainly for games, Scala, PPaint, Dpaint, Brilliance and Image Studio. CPU intensive stuff is done on the PC with WinUae
