A3000 <-> A4000

[mendark]

Hi all!

Sorry if this post is a RTMF type of thing (or n00b as PC lamers call it) but I could use some advice/help on this topic :-D

I'm  the proud owner of an A4k and A3k (both desktop) which both are catching a lot of dust.
My plan was to sell the A3k and keep the A4k.
BUT then I realised that I would be better off with the A3k instead.
The only thing is which I have to scrafice is processor powerrrrrrr  :-o

The A4k got an 040 and the A3k an 030. Tricky :-?
My plan was to switch daughterboards so I could fully use the A3k at max w/o buying cyberstorm etc.

Anyone got experience with this kind of swap/trick?
Will it rock? Recommendations?

Big thnx,

Mendark

Ok ok, thnx for the replies fellows..

I'm still not really convinced. I have to admit that I haven't opened either one of them so I really can't get it straight atm.

I also hear some different experiences.

Anyone maybe in for some other idea's expect buying new stuff?

Keep the A4k and ditch (gently!) the A3k e.g?

Thnx,

Mendark

Keeping an A4000 or an A3000 is a tough choice.

That's why I call on you my friends, my helping hand, in my time of need /Brandy *not Groove Armada*
sigh, sorry been a though day

I have both. The A3000 is very solidly built, has built in scsi, flicker-fixer. It's biggest problem is ECS, not a big issue now if you get a graphics card. Oh and you'll need to mod your board if you want to use the UWSCSI on a CyberStorm Mk3.

I like the fact it's solid idd. I got a spare CV3D so ECS is not a problem and with flickerfixer so the A4k's output is neither a problem. Confusing.

If you manage to use the C=3640 in your A3000, you'll need to get a daughtercard for your A4000. You might be able to pick up another daughter 3640 of the 030 one that came with the 4000/30.

My idea was to just switch them. So the A3k got the 040 and the A4k get the 030.
