Craig, The A3640 board is an 040 processor card that plugs into the cpu expansion slot on the A4000 and A3000. There are a couple of things to watch out for if you are going to get one though. At least one of the companies advertising them is selling the board with the EC version of the 040 (no mmu or fpu). But I just bought one with the full version of the 040 for $395.00 from another vendor. Second, from what I have seen on the nets, it is a bit of a question mark as to its operation in an A3000. I understand that only later versions of the 3.1 board work. (if those, I don't know for sure, mine is in an A4000/030. Good Luck. Steve
