68EC030 vs 68030

[sim085]

Hi,

I was looking at some accelerator cards and found that for example the VXL used to come with either a 68EC030 or 68030 processor. Now what is the main difference between these two type of processors? Does it have something to do with the Mhz that processor can reach?

My knowledge is not that much on these things; but doesn't MMU mean 'Memory Management Unit'?

If so then how does an EC processor manage memory without an MMU? or 'not rated to have' means something else.

In short from your answer I understand that an 030 is better then an EC030

Thank you,

Thank you! Now I understand better So if my A500+ has a 68000 processor then does it mean that it has an MMU?
