3000 vs 4000?

[runequester]

Seems the forum ate my post

Anyways, in 2 months or so, we're looking at moving to  anew apartment, which opens up the potential for a big box amiga, since I'll have the space and a dedicated computer room.

So the question is.. 3000 or 4000? (2000 is out, due to 16 bit zorro)


As far as I know:
4000 gets AGA, and comes with an 040 already (generally)

3000 gets a scan doubler included already.


I know the 3000 is SCSI and the 4000 is IDE. What I don't know if what practical difference that makes. I dont think I've ever used a machine with SCSI anything. Anyone care to enlighten me here?

Other things to consider?


Stuff that will go into the machine is: 040 or 060 card, scan doubler, RTG, RAM expansion (like zorRAM or something else), USB and some sort of networking solution (whether through USB or otherwise)


THat also brings me to... what are the best networking solutions for these machines?

D'Oh! I just moved your other thread from the news section where you must have accidentally dropped it

For reference, any posts dropped into the news section are subject to moderation before release, which is why it seemed to disappear.

Can you nuke the other one?

Wow... First the Red vs. Blue wars now Red vs. Red.


4000 vs. 3000.  Just like everything, they both have their strong and weak points.  SMD caps on the 4000 - not a big deal at all.  I find them almost easier
 to replace but that's me.

I think if its a classic amiga war, its more grey vs grey. Or these days.. yellow vs yellow
