A 50Mhz '060 ought to be about 4x a 25Mhz '040 in a very good case. 3-4x sounds good. I don't think there are any '040 Macs shipped higher than 33Mhz. > I am still hoping to buy an 060 for my amiga if it isn't a > crusher, it will be awhile I'm sure.

But it is a godsend to the Amiga world because it can double the speed of peoples machines at a decent price. —— Andrew
