In all of the documentation that I got from two different dealers, nothing mentioned that the A3000/25-100 came with more RAM than the A3000/25-50. Thinking that the price difference was too much just for 50MB of hard disk storage, I bought the 25-50 (which I'm very happy with!). If the 25-100 indeed comes with 3 more MB of RAM, then the price difference is much more reasonable. I guess I would have bought the same model anyway, since I couldn't afford the 25-100 (heck, I couldn't even afford the one I bought; I'm still in debt!), but I'm disturbed that I wasn't informed. Does anyone out there know _for_sure_ (i.e. has official documentation) how much RAM the A3000/25-100 comes with? Thanks! AMC

What do you mean you "weren't informed." Seeing your message, I'm assuming you read and write English. It's says right on the literature and the forms that one system comes w/ 2 meg, the other w/ 5 meg.

That's funny. The A30000/25/100 machines that we've received had 2M of
ram, not 5M.. Which literature do you refer to?

Just a short time ago Commodore decided to start shipping this version of the A3000 with 1 Meg of Chip and 4 meg of Fast RAM at no additional charge. Commodore is also shipping all A2500/30s with fully populated 2630 cards (i.e. 4 Meg of RAM) and all 2630 cards shipped by themselves now have 4 Meg of RAM as well. Gene Heitman

I've got the literature for the Commodore Educational Pricing
program which states:
AMIGA 3000/25-50 SYSTEM
List $4798 Education: $3039
A3000/25-50:Motorola 68030 CPU 25(MHz), 68882 math co, 2MG ram....., 50meg
drive, etc.....
then,
AMIGA 3000/25-100 system
List $5798 Educ. $3899
A3000/25-100:Motorola 68030 CPU, 25MHz, 68882 math co, 5 MG ram,...,100meg
hard drive, etc.....
It's all there in black in white.
