Yes, Spectre GCR will work nicely with a faster processor.  Apparently, the
Turbo16 (FAST by Jim Allen) board will speed up Spectre by a very noticeable
amount.  It will allow you to play sound at the same speed as the macs!  My
info is from Mark Booth, sysop for the GEnie Gadgets by Small RT.  I'm pretty
sure he said it is just a hair slower with Turbo16 than the equivalent
macintosh 16MHz board.

Don't know about the other 16MHz boards.
