- Wait a second, you MUST with the fact that you will lose the other CPU as
- your Amiga OS is can't handle multiplyCPU's. And do you really care if
- you lose 7 MIPS when installing a 150Mhz PowerPC, I mean, the new CPU
- will EAT your 030 alive when it comes to MIPS! The 68060 can do 80 MIPS
- on a 50Mhz speed, and I can't really dream of what the PowerPC can do at
- 150Mhz...
