Kevin, The Amiga 2500 is not all that fast… The 2090A stil has the overscan problems and the 2620/2 is not that fast… I have a RONIN board with a 20Mhz 881 and no 32-bit RAM… I compaired my system to a 2500 and was not impressed!!! Here are my results… Amiga 2000 CMI Amiga 2500 RONIN. —————————————————————————–. Eckel benchmark 994 1223 1917 2198. CPU_Speed 1.00 1.03 1.73 1.89. SI Amiga 1.0 1.7 4.6 4.6. SI IBM 3.2 5.7 15.1 15.2. (the following, lower is better) Sieve 45.50sec 44.78sec 21.86sec 18.48sec. Savage.IEEE 46.86sec 1.76sec 1.52sec 1.26sec. RAM_Speed (chip) 29.20sec 28.60sec 24.27sec 20.60sec. RAM_Speed (fast) 29.20sec 28.50sec 24.27sec 20.50sec. I didn't believe the results!!! Even with 2MB of 32-bit ram the thing was slower than my RONIN board!!! I am still thinking about getting a 2500 though, simply because it is will be a standard and that the 2620 can still be booted with the 68000… If I did get the 2500, I would probably replace the hard drive and controller with the GVP one since the 2090A is VERY unreliable…
