300+ euros for an 603/160 and 040 and NO SCSI?????
THIS IS MAD!!!
and the card is clocked ??????!!!
I wouldn't pay for that card including memory more than 150-160.
just don't forget its an abused! card.
These card are prety fragile I also had an oveclocked 603/160 at 224.5 and 040 at 33 an belive me ITS the EDGE clock for these processors and I had the PPC with a cooler from an AMD686!! REALY BIG.. If I stoped the PSU fan I had in front of ppc then I had about 10 minutes before crash .. How is it sopposed to work in such a small sink? if for some reason the fan of this card stops then I belive.. Good bye ppc...
040 is tougher and will not be burned but.. 40mhz is a sure bet for an unstable amiga no matter the cooling..

Tuning is a sort of customizing . I would never buy an already tuned motorcycle because I can never be sure about the quality of the tuning he made but I have tuned my by bike myself and I sure of what the pros and cons of this tuning.. also when you sell something you cann't add the tuning in the value because in the end you only get a ppc@160 and 040@25 and the price tag of 300+ is a price for ata LEAST 200Mhz PPC and for sure 060 and scsi!! donn't forget that from 040 to 060 there is a BIG gap not so big when weare speaking for ppc@160 and ppc@240.... and SCSI ?? the scsi that blizzardppc card "wear" If I could buy it seperatly I would pay for it more than 70e. Thats the reasons that this card is almost doubled price. also you can get 128MB simm from USA ebayers for lower than 20e a simm. I got 2x128MB for my ppc incuding p&p about 40e.. so from 150-160 this card had to be sold at 200-210 not forgeting the OC that has pushed the hardware a little bit to its end of life.. I prefer to buy an none tuched card like this for more than I would buy this "tuned".

Do you have any idea about how far you can overclock this fastest 603 ???


I actually belive this card can go up to 300Mhz end maybe some Mhz more But NOT with the original heatsing and some addons. you must remove the P5 heatsing and find a way to fit a bigger lets say from an AMD k6 and an adequate cooler.. Mine bppc is an 200Mhz chip and is running perfectly OK at 266 and I'm sure it can go to 280.. BUT I have an PSU fan blowing in the big heatsing .. If I turn out the fan I can work the  PPC with full load (100%) up to 20mins before the crash visit me but then again the 68k will work OK.. maybe a little slower ...
