Several C= engineers have said there's no practical way to get a 3000
working at the same speed as a stock 500/1000/2000. Beyond the clock speed
there are other problems (like the fact that memory accesses are 32-bits at
a time) that make it very difficult to get the speeds to really be close.
Kludges such as running a CPU-hogging program inthe background have been
suggested, but that'll only get you a very rough approximation of the
necessary speed.
The most realistic solution is to wait for the software developers to rev
their games to work on a 3000, or to buy a 500 for game playing.
