- Yes, I guess 40 or 50MHz is a little to much for the bird... after all it was desinged
- for 16MHz so they didn't need to use higrated components. I have also been told that
- Motorola makes such a good chips that alsmost every 030 is rated above 32MHz. They
- can't make such bad 030 chips that can only handle 16MHz. :-)

-
- I have been told that it can handle up to 25MHz, that is absolutly the maximum
- and I guess that all can't handle that, so 20MHz is the most used and it will
- work with all falcons.

-
- Replacing the blitter/combel with your own. ;-)

-
- No, what I ment was that I wonder how much faster the FX-card will be than the
- lowcost BSS card. 30 pounds is _very_ cheap and 25MHz bus might compensate the
- loss of fast-RAM. :-)
