Title: 68000 CPU Mhz Question
Post by: DaNi on November 04, 2003, 10:42:53 AM

Hello, i found a 68000p10 10mhz (the amiga with 68000 standar have 68000p8 8mhz) if i quit and replace with this new cpu, my amiga work on 7,14mhz or obtain mhz speed about 9mhz?

Thanks : )

It will work on the Amiga's  original clockspeed (slightly over 7 MHz). No speedgain at all.

No, the CPU will only run at the clock speed that is fed through the clock pin. The A500's CPU socket delivers a 7.14MHz clock. (there are modifications to get 14MHz, but these are problematic)
