Bill and Al, Thanks for the good thread of messages. Al thanks for the
benchmark. I took that puppy home and…ran it on my Amiga with 68010.
fastest average percent Language
time time speed error TrueBasic (compiler) 63.055 63.82

Just thought I'd pass this along for those considering 68010 upgrade. Kind of
"ho-hum" if you ask me. But if you can get it "cheap". Now I wonder what the
68881 would give in boost? <grin>

Sid:
Your results seem consistant with what others have been saying and not
too surprising. Mearly replacing the 68000 with a 68010 won't gain you much. I
believe that the 68000 to 68020 exchange will net a greater improvement. The
68881 could give a large improvement but only for certain programs and only if
the code is rewritten. Now if you already have the 68020, the 68881 will add a
'boost' automatically (I think).
73s,
