- > > An '020 is about 75% of the speed of an '030.
-
- This is not my statement but one that was quoted out of a message to me.
- Note the two ">" marks. Yeah, I know... that isn't all that clear. ;-)
-
- Still, one valid point might be that the 020 can be "more like 95% of the
- speed of a 68030 in real software use *AS LONG AS THERE IS NO MMU*
- attached" at the same clock rate. Lots of 030's go 40-50 MHz but the
- fastest 020 I ever saw was a 25 MHz unit. Did they make a 33 MHz 020? If
- they did, I didn't hear about it. That would not be real surprising, since
- I am not in electronics but I read a lot and probably would have seen
- something about it.
-
- Your point about the MMU is very good... I hadn't thought of that at all.
-
- Another thing about the MMU, IMHO, is that lots of people are buying
- cheaper accelerators that do not contain a MMU. Are these people gonna be
- disappointed about the time AmigaDOS v3.0 comes out or what?
