What is the normal speeds of the crystal, as i have just bought one but the crystal has been knocked off and will need to be replaced.
Will the cpu have a speed on it like 25 or 50 and i double the speed for the crystal like 50 or 100.

Thanks

Plus is there anyone still doing 040 to 060 upgrades on here?

The CPU will have a suggested speed printed on it, eg MC68040RC40. You are right about the crystal being double that speed.

Regarding the upgrade, you might want to send stachu100 a PM.

Hi!

Yes Stachu is a Member of these boards and has upgraded many Apollo/Blizzard cards including PPC's his work is of a real high standard, I own one of the 330mhz PPC/ 72mhz 060 Blizzard boards he upgraded and its awesome

He uses the latest mask 060 so they run cooler and can be overclocked too.

Anyway its well worth sending it to him

Steve.
