I think it will be a while until you see ANY machines with an '040 in 
them.  The fact is, they will be in very limited supply until about
6 months from now when Motorola will have finalized the die for the
thing and drop the XC off of the front. I think the shortest time 
until you see an '040 box will be 8 to 15 months [based on how long
it was until 88k machines were being turned out.  It's strictly a matter
of Motorola not being able to crank out thousands of chips until they
have it's design finalized.
