I threw in a 3640 in my A3000 a while ago. I can tell you, it's hardly worth the effort. Increase in speed is minimal.

I also had an A3640 card in my A3k-25mhz and it didn't
make any real noticable difference.
But I bought an A3k-16 mhz for my wife and installed
the A3640 card and it made quite a difference there.
So I guess if you have a 16 mhz machine ... YES its
worth it, but if yours is a 25 mhz then it probably
isn't worth the money or effort.

The way I solved the heat problem of the A3640 card is ..
I added a heatsinc on the CPU then I took a 486 CPU fan
and mounted it on an 'L' bracket that drops down thru the
slot behind the floppy drive and pointed it toward the
68040 & heatsinc. The floppy drive holds the bracket in
place. I ran it in my A3k this way for about a year until
I got my WarpEngine. Now its in my wife's A3k/16mhz and
still working fine. (No case hacking required)
