Probably the reason that we only see 16mghz Mac IIx's 030SE's is because Apple is Stingy in the speed and performance dept. They don't use faster dma/scsi chips for disk access, they don't use graphics accelerators or anything other than a math coprocessor, they don't use a DSP for sound. I guess all that R&D money went to giving Apple R&D engineers 3 or 4 more video cards and monitors to hang on their 8 meg machines. Just think! now the R&D budget can be spent buying themselves the big 21" monitors. -David
