I bought an 060 from Analogic a while ago and am quite happy with
although the price did manage jump an extra £20 between reading the ad
and making my order but £170 seemed reasonable at the time.
The chip is marked as an XC68EC060RC60 an genuine 60Mhz part. I while
back I tried overclocking it to 80Mhz but discovered that setpatch
crashed it because the FPU is the weak link. I remember posting this
on an overclocking thread in one of the forums and being told by
someone that it didn't have an FPU.
I don't know how they worked that out without seeing my system there
was also the fact that setpatch crashed it because it activated the
FPU plus I ran quake and FPU versions of software on my system and
also my showconfig below.

Ayway I was happy with what I got so guess I'm lucking in that
respect. When it was at 80Mhz I tried out a demo which didn't require
an FPU and it absolutely flew.
