an EC060 clocked at 75/80mhz probably
would be similar during FPU intensive calcs
as a full '040@40mhz. I


WHAT ??????????

Even CF-CPUs (without FPU) are outperfomed by a lousy 68882,
and those beasts run at up to 200mhz.

Floating-point done in Integer is atleast 10 times slower
than done with a FPU in the same range, so when you want to
do anything that uses the FPU, I would advice you to stay
with the 040 or get a real 060.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

version and give both a try  :-D
