Advice on 68060 purchase wanted
« on: March 24, 2011, 01:37:44 AM »
As the thread title suggests, Im looking for advice on purchasing a 68060 cpu. Ideally Id like to go at least 60mhz, but Im doing the apollo1240 mod/upgrade, so I assume I wont have much success going much higher than that anyway ? I just want a system as fast as possible without any stability issues caused by trying to push the cpu too far (non towered, so Im sure that's a factor too?). If I can hit 66 or 75, then great, but Im not really looking to push it to the nth degree, so are revisions really all that important? Ive read that 60mhz and higher are manufactured on a smaller fab process (ergo newer), so I'd imagine theyre more of a safe bet for my needs/wants ? I know there's 50mhz versions using that process too, but in that case revision seems quite imporant, and Im going to need at least a 20% o/c to even hit 60mhz.

Thanks.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.
