Re: 68LC040 at 66 MHz?

What that means is that although the chip runs internally at 66 MHz, 
all the input and output from the rest of the board happens at 33 
MHz.  It was a bit naughty of Apple to advertise these as 66 MHz 
machines, and they stopped doing so pretty early in the run from 
memory.

Subject: 68LC040 at 66 MHz?
Anyway I noticed one of my 580s had a different CPU in it, marked as an
XC68LC040FE33B 66 / 33 MHz. I found this on Google, referring to this CPU:

so I know it is just a later version of the same basic CPU. However I
had a thought about the marking that says "66 / 33 MHz" - I assume this
means that the later revision of the chip runs at either of these
speeds. I don't suppose anyone knows if there is a system I can put this
CPU into that will run it at the full 66 MHz?
