<<<1 Raptor ~= 10-11 4000/25MHz, 1 4000/40MHz ~= 2.5 4000/25MHz, thus:>>> How can a CPU with a clock rate of 40Mhz be 2.5 times faster than the same CPU with a 25Mhz clock rate? Unless the 68040-40 is somehow a different CPU with a least double the integer units of the 68040-25 the best it can possibly achieve, based on the laws of physics (which I know has no bearing on marketing claims) is a 40 percent improvement. If Adib gets this scene file uploaded I'd like to hear the results you get. Don
