The only released SPEC numbers for the 68040 are for 25MHz chips. There are 68030 chips running at 25MHz for several years now, and likewise for the 68882 FPU that went with the 68030. Any improvement in SPEC numbers over the 68030 did not come from the 68040 having a faster clock rate. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offence."
