From the pictures on Amiga Hardware database it looks like that blank spot is for an SMD '030.  Maybe you can overclock it?  I'd make sure to add a heatsink or two if you're going to try that.  ;)

Edit: probably couldn't hurt to get a matching pair of whatever the fastest SIMM's it will support, too.  :)

That looks like some Chinese knock-off.  Personally I'd buy one from someone here in the US, but it might work fine.  As the old saying goes, you pays your money and you takes your chances!  ;)

Of course that's assuming the board logic can even handle 50MHz.  I don't think any of us here know for certain, we're just guessing. :)
