Only if you optimize the code for > 010, you will get more speed increase (up to 40% in some cases). Since 68010 costs only $1 (at least that's what I paid for it) %10 is quite accectable. If you occasionally use any raytracers you might even notice the speed increase :-) Most eurodemos and some games hate 68010, but they don't work without $C0000 memory expansion either (Nope with 1MB chip or 8M fast) so 68010 doesn't make things any worse. I have allready made switch in my machine to relocate $80000 to $C00000 to get those bastards to work. Just my .02fmk worth. MIT -- Lets buy a dog!
