....What can you do with the 68060/50 card (with FPU), which you cannot make with the 68030/50 card?

hmm I'm hoping this comment was said (er typed) in jest;)

If you are only into gaming, then this does indeed not help much. Actually, the reverse. The 68030 is a much more forgiving processor than the 68040 or 68060. The 68030 can run "blank" (or almost), the 68040 or 68060 need software support and MMU support. It is much harder to keep badly written programs running on 68060 than on the 68030, or games that cannot load the software support packages (aka 68040 or 68060.library).

  If you are in programming or software development, then it does make a difference whether a longer project compiles in ten minutes or two.

Also, if you want to run Magic64, then a 68060 is definitely helpful for good performance. If you want to run Mac classic software, a 68040 is probably the most compatible option.

I've had quite a few demos that crawled on my 030 (or didn't run at all) but ran smoothly on my 060, any 3D dwg program (i.e Lightwave, Alladin etc.) is like night and day from 030 to 060, newer (mid-late 90s) games & Nova's ports need a faster CPU to make them playable.

Basically I love my 030@50 since it's the most forgiving for older classic games and WHDLoad but to compare it performance wise to my CS-MKIII 060@50 or my Apollo 060@50, both not overclocked, is just ridiculous

if you want to avoid the extra costs of EBay then put your card on AmiBay, state your price and if it sells you avoid the cost and hassle of EBay.
Many people including myself have bought & sold with no issues there and personally i prefer to buy from fellow amigans and not EBay profiteers.

@ MODS

there's a Buy/Sell section of this site so please move this thread or close this thread and have the OP start a new ad there

[klx300r]

I meant the classified section or auction house section

I wish you good luck again on selling your card but perhaps you should consider advertising some where else for obvious reasons

glad you finally sold it & I'm assuming you're happy because amiga.org gave you a place to sell your card with no associated sellers fees.

[klx300r]

I sold, but not on amiga.org!

oh well you sold for a fair price and I hope the new user has fun with his new fast 030 card
