what is it that you ppl want to do on an amiga w/ AmigaOS with a 68060 that you can't do with an o'clocked 030 w/128+ megs ram?

just curious.

engines/emulators with the 060?  I guess I can see that.  I personally did not see much difference in the wholesale computing capability from 030 to 040  | and then from the 040 to the 060, I've had them all with up to 256M ram...

It was nice to say that I could run mame 0.35 or whatever under 060, or unzip stuff faster, but beyond that I couldn't see the overall advantage in it for anything other than a retrocomputing novelty.

same can be said for PPC - a few utils here and there...

if you are talking about highly optimized assembly routines and programs for 040/060 then I guess you have a point, esp when coupled w/ some of the overclocked 060s I'm hearing about.  Those apps are few and far between, however.
