What´s the maximum speed of a coldfire anyway?
I have seen 266MHz, know any faster?
Apple did it right the first time, bring back the Newton!

One reason I suggested the althon 64 was largely because it apparently dissipates a lot less heat than previous generations.



That's true... 32Watts normal, 65Watts underload, 95 Watts max (IIRC)... but my BlizzPPC melted... and I'm sure that didn't pump out 35Watts of heat... I think that the small "British" RISC ARM CPU is better suited to the task :-D

Hell... I want an Athlon64 Accel for my A1200 now :lol:

Just put a nanoITX in a empty A1200-shell:-P

400Mhz, well then a Coldfire would be faster than what my pc does in UAE(6 times faster than a 060-50Mhz( or  PPC-JIT on 1Ghz MOS/OS4)).

You forget about the IPC... it's not that great on the Coldfire... certainly not as good as the 060 (or the PPC or the Xscale or the Althon64 etc...)

I don´t know anything about that. first term java and c-programming only here.:-P
IPC=interprocess communcation?
