- The upgrade is only available for the Version 3 machines (500 and up).
- Also, many, many more 3B2s are still being sold with the WE32100
- CPU than the MIPS R3000A CPU. The upgrade includes SVR4 and costs
- about $23,000.

-
- My literature doesn't give any performance figures other than to
- say it operates at 33MHz.
