Motorola 68010 processor: Should I install it?
« on: September 04, 2009, 05:05:21 AM »
I was going through my spare chips and found a Motorola 68010 processor?  Can I remove the 68000 from my A2000 and simply install this?  Will it damage the motherboard?  Is it any faster?  Thanks.

Ok, many people say that some software isn't compatible with this CPU.  Does anybody have an idea of how much.  Other than an occasional game, does it for the most part work fine?  I admit that I am not really after the 10% performance increase, I am simply after the brag factor.  While everybody else says their Amiga has a 68000, I get to say "My Amiga has the 68010!"  That is pretty much it in a nutshell.

Does this CPU cause any other problems such as instability within Workbench?  Is it hard on the motherboard in any way?  If it is an occasional game, I might just go for it because I do all my gaming off my Accelerator board.

Sounds good.  I guess I will go ahead and do it.  By the way, did you see a performance increase at all Orphan264?

I know I would be using my accelerator almost 100% of the time.  I am just doing this upgrade because I can.  It does nothing more than make me feel "happy on the inside" knowing that I have a 68010 in my system.
