68030 50MHz vs. 68040 33MHz
« on: February 21, 2017, 03:31:44 PM »
How much difference in performance is there between a 68030 clocked at 50MHZ w/ 12MB RAM compared to a 68040 clocked at 33MHZ with 32MB RAM?

In essence compare a RCS Fusion 40 to a GVP 030 Combo board upgraded to 030 50MHz.

Both to be installed an A2000 with KS and WB 3.1 with intentions of upgrading to 3.9.  And an Indivision ECS and a Mini Mega Chip.

Oh, forgot to mention the SCSI controller I'm using now is a GVP w/4.15 chip.  It also has 8MB RAM.

If I go with the GVP Combo board, it would be replaced.

Kind of what I thought.

I think I'll stick with my Fusion 40 and GVP SCSI card.

BTW, if anyone is interested, there's an Aussie selling a GVP Combo card on ebay!
