FS: Blizzard PowerPC 603e 330Mhz, 060 66Mhz, 64Mb RAM

I am selling my second upgraded Power PC card on Amibay HERE.

This is one of those recently upgraded by Stachu100 and details can be found in his thread HERE.

If you're interested, please post in the Amibay thread to keep things simple and fair.

I don't have an Amibay account, I wouldn't pay £600 for that. In better times maybe, I would happily throw £400 for the novelty value but no more.

It may not justify it to you but as you may or may not know there are probably less than 20 of these cards upgraded in this manner in existence.
I also took a considerable risk shipping the original card and my Bvision for testing, out to someone I had never met to perform a potentially risky upgrade.
Factor in the original cost of these cards, the cost of the replacement CPU (pretty hard to come by) and the work performed by Stan himself, alongside the not inconsiderable shipping and insurance costs and the fact that every single one of the cards upgraded by Stanislaw has sold for about the same price I think the asking price is reasonable.
All that said, I am also not an unreasonable person and am open to negotiation.

Blizzard PPC card operate best from a single OSC,so one of my cards has a single 75Mhz OSC this is my third modifyed card.

68060 can be clocked higher around 80Mhz but the Bvision will not work under OS3.x at this speed,but works fine under OS4.0. so you will have a 40Mhz PCI bus speed under OS4.0.

my fastest card looks as if its going to get faster than 83Mhz bus (334Mhz),and FFTdemo times should inprove. also note 40ns or faster dram chips are needed to overclock at or above 75Mhz with 256Mb max ram in mind.

another important factor about my ram module is track layout/length of the track plays a critical roll and makes a difference between a Blizzard card booting at 80Mhz+. so even if you have the right dram chips iv found it does not always work due-to track layout/length.


FFT Demo test

Speed test for FFT + iFFT: (float)
