"That is FALSE. The 68060 is equal in power to a Pentium." Plese provide references to objective third party reports, preferably those of independent testing labs, to support your contention. Advertising claims don't cut it. "A test performed at a major exposition in Germany put Lightwave on an A4000 with a 50 MHz 68060, and also on a PC with a 90 MHz Pentium." Has LightWave for the PC been released yet in its production version? And LightWave is hardly a benchmark program. You seem inclined to believe spurious advertising claims – I tend to believe reports of independent testing labs that use a full suite of tests, not just the speed of video being redrawn which is dependent on many other factors beyond the CPU. "I am quite certain when Escom decides which RISC processor they wish to use in future Amigas, that I WILL be able to drop it in my machine, because the documentation for my 3000 (in 1990) said my processor upgrade slot was capable not only of a 680×0 upgrade, but an upgrade to a RISC processor (any that will fit depending on how you build the card, I suppose)." Then you may have an advertising fraud claim against Commodore (good luck!). Just assuming for a moment that this particularly bizarre claim had a shred of truth to it, don't you think that others would have rushed in to provide a RISC accelerator for the Amiga? I think you have a lot of faith in your Amiga, but I don't think you're particularly well informed about other machines and their capabilities – or the limitations of your beloved Amiga. Jerry
