- My current GVP 040-40 board does about 30.5 MIPS according to SysInfo.
- Calculate that to 50 MHz and you will get >38 MHz which is very close
- to the SysInfo rating of the 060 (how reasonable or vague it may be).
- It seems that the sophisticated techniques used in the 060 don't give
- it an all too big advantage over the 040 on non-optimized software.
- But anyhow there is no 50 MHz 040, the 060-50 doesn't seem to be
- much more expensive than a 040-40, the software situation might
- improve in the future and the lower heat production due to 3,3 V
- is another plus. I hope it can work with passive or even without
- cooling cap? Would be nice to save the noise.
-
- BTW what do you mean by "SysInfo overloads the 060 cache"? It doesn't
- happen to be smaller than the 040's, does it?
