Amiga 3000UX, X, OpenLook, Motif, Color, A2410, Etc. (somewhat long)

[Chris Swanson]

First of all, b&w X is only temporary with Amix.  Right now the
engineers at C= are working on (and RSN will be shipping) a version of
color X supporting all of the Amiga resolutions/colors that use the
specialized Amiga graphics chips.  Rumor has it that the color
implimentation is about 4x faster than the current b&w.  Also, if you
want 1024x1024x8 colors, the 2410 will support that at a probable cost
of any TIGA cards for other platforms (like ISA, if not cheaper).  The
current version of X has support for TIGA routines built in, so buy a
TIGA card and away you go.  You would have to buy a TIGA board for a
ISA machine to get respectible X performance out of it anyway.

As far as faster processor speeds, many vendors have anounced 25 MHz
'040 cards for the 3000 that all run at or under $1000.  Try and get a
comprible upgrade for any of the machines you named for an equivelent
price.
