> I dont know of any Amiga that can be converted from XXX MHZ to XXX+ MHZ I wish I could give a difinitive answer, but I'm not sure. That's why (I think) I phrased my reply in questions. I was told that the A3000/16 could not be upgraded to an A3000/25, period. To me, that seemed like a serious drawback to the machine, as speed is becoming just as important as gobs of ram these days. You can upgrade an A2000 by adding any number of accelerators for just about any budget… I've seen 25 MHz GVP A3001 kits sold used for under $1000… so, a new A2000HD + a used GVP board would run somewhere around $2300… just under the cost of an A3000/25. I'm sorry if my message was misleading! – Whapp!ng from the North Coast Michael
