@Barney,
It'd be of help if you provide the link to the website from where you read about the info.
@all,
However, i *actually* noticed the 'slow' speed of my A3000 with KS3.1 ROMS - as reported by Sysinfo.
When i first got my towerised A3000 five yrs ago - all the way from Germany - it came with 2mb chip + 4mb fast, but due to my lack of experience, i inadvertently screwed up the zip rams :-( Thereafter i cold-storaged my A3000 (i mean can you run any program productively with a 2mb amiga?)
Recently i bought a Fastlane pop'd with a whopping 64mb ram (the max is 256mb but you'd have to be extreme lucky &/or rich to get this kind of ram modules), and got all excited to revive my A3000.
Indeed the extra ram speed up the operations on the A3000 (plain WB3.1) tremendously. So i installed Sysinfo for the 1st time on this system to check. The report was a shock... so very perplexing! altho in reality i'm very happy with the RAM boost.
Perhaps there's some flaw with the Sysinfo?
(I have no other A3000 with different KS ROM version hence i can't really verify the claim)
I'll take a screenshot of the sysinfo report and upload to the Images section, when i have time later ;-)
