- In my eyes it's not fair to sell this system as a '60 MHz 68040'.
- Maybe 60 MHz is the internal clock speed.
-
- This is exactly how the cheap clones get away with advertising 50MHz processors.
- They are using the clock doubler chips. The external clock is 25MHz.
-
- Even still, these clock doubled chips reportedly give a performance boost.
-
- I sure wouldn't mind owning a 60MHz 68040 based atari!
