Well, ye olde 486 boxen usually didn't have trouble keeping an AMD 5x86 running at 133Mhz busy when their original chip was only 33Mhz. I suppose if it was done right, it could be possible to swap out a 68k CPU with one running at 3x speed. It'd probably need some L1 internal cache that is "transparent" to the System or Mac OS. ===== "Truth is, after all, a stronger edifice than a lie.
