- This isn't really necessary.
- I have a 16MHz A3000 witch is 'upgraded' to 25MHz *without* changing
- the 68030 CPU. A 16MHz CPU is reliable also with 25MHz.
- *My* Amiga works since about nearly two years without any problems.
-
- I think it's saver to use a 16MHz CPU with 25MHz (a 16MHz 68030 *is* a
- 25MHz 68030, but only testet up to 16MHz), than to remove a SMD CPU.
-
- Georg.

- PS: No warranty however... :)
