Ok, as I am not very hardware knolagable this may see like a dumb question.

Can a person with the stock 040 25mhz 3640 board replace the Motorola chip with a faster one like the 060 50mhz or is there other factors that make this impossible?


Well, you theoretically could if you had something like this:





But from the notes I eventually ran across here the 2 or 3 of these 68060->68040 adapters they tried in an Amiga 4000 (3640) never did run stable enough to offer as a retail product (this is back in 1994/95).

What this animal appears to be is one of these S68060-2 Smart Socket from emulation.com (or one of their first generation models) -- but at $430 listed price it seems rather... extremely rediculous?
