- Ohh really Gary? Would you mind telling me which Macintoshs still use the
- 68000???
- Classic II 68030 16Mhz (Same as Performa 200)
- LC II 68030 16Mhz (Same as Performa 400)
- II si 68030 20Mhz
- II ci 68030 25Mhz
- II vx 68030 33Mhz
- Quadra 700 68040 25Mhz
- Quadra 950 68040 33Mhz
- PowerBooks 68030 25Mhz (The PB 180 might be faster not sure tho)
-
- Actually, Gary, Apple is trying to move away from the 68030 and to the 68040
- On Feb. 15 Apple will replace the IIsi and IIci with 68040 macs, the Centris
- line.
