How to rip a Blizzard
« on: November 29, 2002, 09:52:54 PM »
So have any of you been brave enouph to rip of a Blizzard 1260/50 and put in a 60mhz 060?Or have someone do it? If so I'd like advice as to if you changed the cristal, etc.
I'm asking this cause I noticed that Eyetech are now selling Apollos at 66mhz, with 60mhz 060s they were able to acquire.
Curiously, they also say the previous ones sold by them and other sellers were overclocked 50mhz's.
Maybe it's not worth to risk it, but it'd be cool if it worked :-D

"If you're lucky, I understand you
may even be able to get away with 75 or 80mhz."

That's on 060 chips with the reference ending with an A. There are some (rare) A ones at 60mhz. That's why I wanted to rip off mine and get one of those if I'm lucky.
So has anyone really tried that?
 :-D

Cool anyway. Maybe it's not worth it. The software I wanted to create for the 68k will be too slow anyway, probably, and what good is me having a fast enouph machine if everybody else doesn't? . I'll have to learn some heavy programming first :-D  (Don't ask me what the idea is :-D )

@Castellen:
they're 60mhz chips running at 66mhz I think. Check motorola's site they have that info.
