After all, isn't it nothing more than a replacement CPU with a >50mhz clock speed? AFAIK it's not even a 50 MHz part - it's an overclocked 40 MHz part. Let us know when you get it, though, whether it has 68040RC40 or 68040RC50 as the part number. >Now heres where the question, comes in: Everywhere I go all I hear is "The >QuadDoubler will not work in the Quadra 800."

I don't trust MicroMac farther than I can throw 'em, and I shudder to think what a princely sum is being spent to do this, but I can't see any reason why it *wouldn't* work. -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> _________________________________________________________________ -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
