  I have a question that has to deal with a 16 Mhz A3000.  
  I am thinking about upgrading from a A1000, to an A3000, but don't
think I can afford the extra three or four hundred bucks that it would
take to buy a 25 Mhz 3000, so I may be aiming at the 16 Mhz.
  I am told from my local dealer that this computer would not be upgradable
to 25 Mhz because the CPU is soldered in.  
  What I want to know is this: Will I be able to, sometime in the future,
purchase a third party board to connect expansion wise, and upgrade
to 25 Mhz, exactly the same as if I actually bought a 25 Mhz model?
I mean EXACTLY the same as, not close....
  Is this the only difference between the two models?
  I don't want to lay down the bucks now, and then later wish I had
sold my wife and dog to get the 25 Mhz (NO!  I wouldn't do THAT....would I?).
  I'm sure this has been covered before, but I'm not gonna wade
through screens of messages.....I'd rather waste "hundreds, if not 
thousands" of the net's money!
  Thanks!
