- No. The card drops right into the 68040 CPU socket. Your memory speed
- will be just as slow as ever.

- The "Doubler" is also available for the Mac. (Same card). It is not
- Amiga specific.
-
- I would encourage you NOT to get this card. The A4000 case design is bad
- enough. Somethis as hot an an overclocked 040 is bound to push it over
- the edge.
