Steve, While the Chip ram in the A3000 is on the 32bit bus, my
understanding was that the custom chips still only accessed it via 16bit,
so that you would not get the 4X improvement that you mentioned. The Chip
ram is accessible to the processor (68030) however as 32bit, so you
would/might get a 2X improvement. Make sense?
My dealer was closed today. I'm gonna try again on Saturday and do a time
test or two to see if what we are saying is true or not. Will let you
know.
