#68010

Ok, have a small question. I've been thinking about installing 68010 proce
procesor into my A500 (rev 6 board with a tiny IDE interface in the
processor slot) got it? Ok, will the 68010 increase the speed of my
computer, particularly for word processing? That's it. See you later
Eugene, I have the 68010 in my A500. If you don't play any games, it's a
good idea to use that CPU but many games don't run with it. Actually the
only reason I use it is that is speeds up Imagine. A picture that would
take about 6 hous with an 68000 will only take 5 1/2 hours. Of course, that
little increase is not worth the trouble the CPU causes, but I sometimes
make some animations with up to 100 frames…

I don't play many games, but I play new ones. I guess the problem with
games on 68010 is similar to amigas with accelerators (A3000 has tohse
problems) So you say it speeds the CPU up. Good, I gues I will have to get
it. I do some animations and use page stream with word procesors, so I
guess It would be usefull to get it. Thanks for responding. See you later
Eugene,
A 68010 gives you about a 5% overall speedup. Some things run a
bit faster than 5%, but overall…it's only about 5%.
