i have blizz 1240/40 and im really tempted

can it be upgraded to 060/60 (66?)

/me goes to calculate exchange rate

MC68060RC50 with mask 1E41J (the cpu that i use) is very good for overclocking (with active cooling).
At least 60Mhz should be possible with your Blizzard but i have to admit, i have never tried overclocking with a Blizzard 1260 card...
But as long as you dont use a scsi kit it should be no problem, i think.

[Ral-Clan]

Is it only the Blizzard boards that can be upgraded to an 060, or can any 040 board made by any manufacturer be upgraded to an 060?

[alexh]

The board had to have been designed originally to be either

[delshay]

the hardest part of any upgrade is removing the solder without damaging the tracks or anything else..

Well, i sure havent smoked the same thing that you has?
What do you know..
Maybe you should do some background checking before you open your mouth.

I NEVER recommend anyone tempted to upgrade a 040 board to do it if they dont have the skills needed.
However, i think there is a lot of skilled people on this forum, your not only insulting me but them also...

Even if you have the skills and tools needed you shouldnt upgrade your computer if there is a risk involved?
Where do you draw the line?

[delshay]

anyone who has being changeing CPUS & has access to ( professionl ) tools & also has been doing it for some time has some level of skill..

there was a mod lately where someone changed a 040 to 060 there was a few marks here & there but i give marks 10 out of 10..it worked

[TiredOLife]

Well it's up to the individual to choose for themselves.
Never had an 040 so I don't really know what the difference
in performance would be during actual usage.
Have gone from 030 to 060 in the past.
Wouldn't be without my 060 now. (Until there is a new PPC).
Wouldn't have the knackers to do it myself, but PG says he has done it many times before.  

[delshay]

if PG says he does this all the time ( changing CPUS ),its a easy job to do..but sometimes things can go wrong,but the risk should be low due-to the amount of times its done before..
