- @2Boost for Lightwave users@1
-
- Even the 33MHz model is 33% faster than the A4000-030 which is a great
- improvement over the basic A1200. The addition of a maths co-pro will be a
- massive boost for Lightwave users, enabling rendering to be done in only a
- fraction of the time it usually takes.
-
- @2Dual HD interfaces@1
-
- The two hard drive interfaces is a brilliant surprise giving you the freedom of
- ATA-IDE-wide and SCSI-2-wide, both have extremely high performance transfer
- rates (see tech specs above).
