Also, I have noticed that EC versions of processors don't have an MMU. Does the lack of an MMU seriously hurt performance? Thanks in advance!


The MMU on Classic AmigaOS was only used as a diagnostic tool.  The OS doesn't support its use directly and likewise most applications wouldn't care any differently.  You'd only need an MMU if you were going to install 68k builds of Linux or NetBSD etc.
