Whoa wait a minute, this thread is getting more turgid by the moment. Now if screen redraws aren't helped by having the OS in the 32bit ram, then why in the devil would I need the MMU? Never could understand why I'd need the MMU anyway. The CSA salesguy told me I would not need the MMU unless I wanted to install UNIX. Don't think I'm ready for a multitasking environment, lex and yaack (yuk?) and all that stuff yet on my 500. So to recap, the '30 would make the mice run faster and if I had the 32bit wide Ram, my images would move faster, don't need a math chip if I avoid ray-tracing and CAD. Not sure about the static Ram.
