Message-ID: <280@erb1.engr.wisc.edu> Date: 19 Nov 90 20:13:37 GMT Sender: news@erb1.engr.wisc.edu Organization: Computer Aided Engineering Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison Lines: 12 Hi all, I've got an 68020 + 68881 board for my 500, with no on-board RAM, ie it uses the slow 16-bit RAM of the stock Amiga. I've got two questions about the 68882. If I were to go out and buy a 68882 with the same clock speed as my '881, would I be able to plug it into the same socket that the '881 is using now? How much of a speed up can I expect? Thanks, -Eric Bazan bazan@cae.wisc.edu -OR- theboo@picard.cs.wisc.edu PS. I think my '881 is clocked at 12 Mhz currently.
