- For what I know the Falcon 040 is fast but (in my opinion) it has a VERY BIG
- PROBLEM: it hasn't the clock!!!!!!!!
- Also its price is very high if you consider it costs like the Blizzard 1260 (here
- in Europe about $800).
- I tell you this: recent tests on LightWave 3D tell us that a 68060/50Mhz is a little
- faster than a Pentium 120.
- So, my suggestion is to buy the 1260.
