Why don't you just purchase an 060/50Mhz Accelerator card? They have FPU & MMU internally in them.

It is ALOT faster than an 030/040 at the same clock speed. It enhances the speed of graphics rendering also!

I almost crapped my pants last year when I bought my first Amiga (Amiga 1200) and a Blizzard 1260! I compared the speed difference, with Accelerator and without. JPEG rendering went from 30 seconds(?) to about 3! 3D rendering is also alot faster as well. :-P

'060 rocks! :-D
