Ok, people. Here's a question for you. What is the Fastest
Amiga configuration available today? For someone who is spending
someone elses money, and want's to be able to do LOTS of
Ray-Tracing.

The fastest Amiga I've seen was a 2000 with a GVP 3001+ 50 MHz 68030/68882
which ran 15 MIPS. At the store where I work, GVP demoed it. We ran SCULPT4D
on that machine and a 25 MHz A3000, rendering that well-known pic of the
chrome apple and the block letters spelling AMIGA. The 2000 finished the
rendering (we ran it with Show Progress) when the 3000 was about 2/3 done.
That's the fastest Amiga I've seen...
The 3001+ with 50 MHz 68030/68882 is roughly $6000...that includes a hard
drive and a lot of 32-bit RAM...

That was the price when it first came out. From Amiga World's mail order price, they now cost ~$2600 for 4Megs RAM, no HD. The difference will more than make up for the missing HD and more memory. *************************************************************************** * Yeo-Hoon Bae * Amiga /// * * Dept.

When available, 25mhz 68040s (GVP and others). John

Note that in the long run, a 3000 with a fast accellerator card will most likely be much faster than a 2000 with a fast accellerator card due to the architectural improvements of the 3000. I don't believe that any accellerator cards are currently available for the 3000. -- -- Ken Farinsky - CATS - (215) 431-9421 - Commodore Business Machines uucp: ken@cbmvax.commodore.com or ...{uunet,rutgers}!cbmvax!ken bix: kfarinsky
