        Sapphire gives a 2.4 MIPS rating.  It is the equivalent of a
2500 without the 32 Bit memory.  The reason 32 Bit memory was not added was
to make an Inexpensive Accellerator that alot of people can afford.
There might be a '030 version with 32 Bit memory... But like I said the main
purpose was to give an increase in speed for  a decent price..  Sapphire
can be found at dealers for about $340 I beleive... I really Haven't checked..
Since I put mine In I have not had hardly any Compatibility problems with
games... I Played Pirates, The Killing Game Show, and A couple of others
on it with no problem, and the speed really does help when Compiling those BIG
C programs.. and Un-Lharcing 600K Files.
