FPU Mhz < CPU Mhz

[Abou27]

Hi there,

  My Blizzard 1230IV 50 Mhz has no FPU :-(   I have been waiting for a month and a half for a 50Mhz FPU to arrive from AmigaSuperBit but no luck.  Can't seem to find anywhere else that offers them.  However, I see plenty of places that do 40Mhz ones and was considering ordering one.  This made a little bell buried deeply in my head start to tingle a little.  I seem to remember hearing that one shouldn't pair a CPU with a lesser FPU.  Is this true and, if so, why?  Would it damage my accelerator if I tried?

Cheers guys - good to see both sides!  I'm in a desktop and want the FPU to speed up Real3D mostly so will have to give this some thought.  I suppose they are not that expensive to try one out as long as they don't damage board!  Anyone else have experience of this?  See if the 50:50 split continues!
