Let the Progressive 040 Buy You Some Time!

The Progressive 040 brings the high-speed processing power of the
leading-edge Motorola 68040 25MHz CPU to your Amigatm 3000 series computer.
A 16MHz A3000 equipped with the Progressive 040 will operate at 6 or more
times its normal speed (4 or more times faster than a 25MHz Amiga 3000). 
The Progressive 040 transforms an Amigatm 3000 into a powerful workstation,
with performance and capabilities previously found only in high-end
workstations costing thousands of dollars more.  For 3-D modeling,
ray-tracing, multimedia applications, intensive multi-tasking, and any
other processor-intensive work, the Progressive 040 produces results
several times faster than previously possible.

Motorola rates the 68040's performance at about 19.2 MIPS (Million
Instructions Per Second) - faster than a SPARC 25MHz processor (19 MIPS),
the R3000 RISC 20MHz processor (17 MIPS), a 68030 50MHz processor (12
MIPS), and the Intel '486 processor.  Raw floating point and integer
operations are nearly twice as fast as a 50MHz 68030.  You won't need to
buy a separate math coprocessor - it's built right in to the 68040 CPU! 
Performance analysis software, included on the disk, rates the Progressive
68040/3000 at up to 35 times the speed of a standard Amigatm 500!

Compatibility with AmigaDOStm release 2.0, and 2.0-compatible third party
application software has been extensively tested for reliability and
performance.  A software "switch", included on the supplied disk, toggles
between the 68030 processor and 68040 processor by simply clicking on its
icon and rebooting (25MHz A3000 only).  Additional software utilities
enable and disable specific processor functions, such as instruction and
data caching, copyback mode, and write-through mode.  The utility disk also
includes high performance floating-point software.

The Progressive 68040/3000 makes use of the 32-bit wide memory provided on
the A3000tm motherboard.  The accelerator installs in the A3000tm's
processor slot, beneath the floppy drive bay.  The installation procedure
is simple, requiring little time or technical skill.  A low-profile
"whisper-fan" is mounted on the card to ensure reliable operation in even
the most hostile climates.

What are you waiting for?  Turbo-Charge your A3000 with the Progressive
040!

Compatible with NTSC and PAL systems.
Requires ROM-resident AmigaDOS 2.0.
