What is the difference between XC's CPU's
and the "regular" ones anyway?

XC is just a chip that hasn't yet reached full MC qualification.  Most of a chips life is at the XC level, then once Motorolla is satisfied that all of the bugs are out they move it to MC status.  On the 040 and 060 this took somewhere around 5-6 years each.  Functionally and physically they are exactly the same chip.  I don't believe there are any errata that effect any of the Amiga accellerators.
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(
