@all

I have a few questions about cpu's on accelerators as well;
I have a cd32 with sx32mk2 (think it's a 40Mhz cpu), and I bought a fpu@33mhz, and i bought a crystal @33mhz as well.
Now, can you people explain to me;

1. what is the connection between the fpu and the crystal? (something about synchronous/asynchronous?), and can i just put in the fastest fpu and crystal there is? (says something about max. 33mhz in my primitive papers on the sx32).

2. can i put in the fastest cpu i find? (like a 50mhz or something), is there a connection between the cpu and the fpu speed?

3. what commands or programs do i use to find out the speeds that are right now? and how do i overclock the cpu/fpu?

4. what is the fpu used for (i know about floating-point operations, but what is that, and give me some examples of which programs/games use it and which doesn't)?

hope someone wants to answer all this, please give thorough answers if you do:) thanks a lot!
