Kim, the 3x figure was from what CSA quoted me. I guess I should have known
not to believe that. It does seem very strange that the improvement is so
minimal, though. You know, the $14xx board is ready to run at 16MHz, provided
that's the rate of the 68000 it's replacing (it's a generic 68K replacement
board). All they're doing to create this 'Turbo Amiga' version, I would
imagine, is making sure all the bus timings and stuff are correct when they run
the board at double the system clock rate. Keeping the NTSC video happy and
all that is the hard part. The CPU's raring to go. – Bela
