  Well I run some benchmarks programs on an Amiga 4000 and here are the
  test results...basicly the whole machine just kicks ass!!!


  The first test program was AIBB 5.0 and the second program used was
  SysInfo 3.01.


  One more thing, if I wouldn't have seen this with my own eye's I wouldn't
  have believed an Amiga possible of such speed and graphics...it has been 
  a long time coming...a bit to long, but I'm glad to see it's finally here!!!


    Later,
