Funny, that, because the LC040 still beats up on the 68030 with the 68882. Speedometer serves to prove this quite nicely. A Q605, stock, will beat a IIfx in math functions despite the IIfx's FPU and clear clock speed advantage. the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> _________________________________________________________________ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
