- In a response to a query on accelerating an SE last August, one reader

- "you could just accellerate the 68000 chip in your SE from 8mhz to 16mhz
- That would make it as fast as the SE/30 in the lab. This would cost
- approximately 150 dollars US, but it is alot cheaper than adding a 68020
- or 68030!"
-
- I need to speed up an SE which is being used as a file server (using
- System 7 file sharing) on a small AppleTalk network.
-
- Several questions on this:
- -------------------------
- Has anyone tried this?
- Are there any architectural limitations on the motherboard to doing this?
- Can the local Mac agent install the new processor?
- Is it really as cheap as this?
