My MC68010L10 runs at 7MHz too on Amiga B2000CR Rev6.
How to change the clock crystal? :angry:

Don't do that - the crystal controls the timings for the entire motherboard.  your best bet is to get a proper accelerator.  However if you want to try, there's hacks out there that allow you to run a CPU at 14MHz (1/2 the speed of the crystal).  Off-hand I think these mess up floppy timings and a few other things.

Here you go, here's a thread on it:  http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=28259

TL;DR.  Just get yourself a proper accelerator.  :hammer:

Thanks for the info, accelerator is expensive :(

Amiga is not a cheap hobby.

Simply replacing your 68000 with a 68010 chip (about $5 bucks on ebay), which it sounds like you've already done, gives you about a 2-5% speed increase (which is hardly noticeable) and gives you access to the 'Quit' key in WHDLoad.

Beyond that add some true fast RAM, if you haven't already.  That's usually good for a 20-30% speed increase over a stock system.
