Have you any explanation of why the 040 runs faster in the 2000?
#10487From: daniel sternklarJul 19, 1991 12:57 AM
The '040 in the 3000 is made by a different company. In addition the 2000 version accesses memory right on the card (up to 32 MEG!) and does not have to go through the amiga bus. Regards,ds

Dan – > …the 2000 version is the RCS Unfortunately I am not allowed at this > time to say moe about the 3000 version made by a different company. Yeah, I got the same advert from RCS in the mail. I think it should be pointed out that the speed numbers posted are NOT impartial 3rd party determinations, but are quotations from the manufacturer of the product claiming to have the greater speed in the data cited. . . . . .

Jim, We were able to duplicate the findings of RCS. But of course time will tell when the other board is actually in production how it performs. -ds

Daniel, Wait a minute. The 68040 25mhz board was faster in test 2 on the A2000 than on the A3000??!? How can that be? Especially 2 min 45 sec worth. Bruce H. -Via Whap!

The '040 on the 3000 has to go through the amiga bus to get access to memory while the 2000 version accesses memory directly on the card itself. -ds

Were the RAM chips equally fast on both '040 systems? Was Static-Column and Burst enabled on the A3000?
#10653From: daniel sternklarJul 24, 1991 5:16 PM
Christopher, YES
#10488From: daniel sternklarJul 19, 1991 12:58 AM
