PG is still doing the upgrades, i'm in contact with him about upgrading my apollo, but he only has xc variants of the 060 at the moment.

I'm having a dilemna, i have a blizz 1240 and an apollo 1240 and only one 71E41J 68060.....i can't decide which card to get upgraded.

xc68060's run a lot hotter than mc68060's and aren't as good to overclock.

The last revision of the mc68060's can happily run at 80mhz in some cards.

I would first look at the power supply not being man enough.

Some apollo's are very tetchy about what ram they use...try swapping it for different 32meg simms which are cheap on ebay.

3.0/3.1 roms will not be the issue here.

Also clean the contacts on the expansion slot with some rubbing alcohol.
