4x 50mhz 030's giving you a wopping 200mhz


How are you planning on doing that?

yea... goals are sure nice to have...
But four CPUs do not add up to 4 times the mhz. unless you find some way for the os to split the task 4 ways and run it parallel trough the four cpus.
If i am not wrong the amiga os do not even support multi cpus (of same type i.e. two or four 060s...)

I am not a hardware wizz... but i seriously doubt it...
If you put it in serial you will run the same task/process four times. and thus reduce performance. In parallel amiga os (i guess) would see only one cpu and crash when four cpus tries to do the same thing...
However separating them on the fsb and giving them a separate cpu bus may work
But still the os has to support multi cpus at first.
And i don't think amiga os is capable of doing so....
