You can put all the faster chips in an A2620 you like.  The only one that can
make the system go any faster is a faster math chip (only an issue if you're
doing heavy math-oriented things).  The 14MHz 68881 can be replaced with a 
25MHz or faster 68882 and an accompanying faster crystal module.  There's no
way to speed up the 68020/68851 combination.
