i wonder how well it would hold up against a G4

Does anybody know what happened to the 68060? How far did/does that scale?
And what was the difference betweeen 040 and the 060?

Motorola is a ****ing disgrace.

Wasn't a 68090 made too?

Like I said to you on AIM, it's the fact that a chip that was developed YEARS ago has heavily surpassed their current offerings.

I'm gunna try and find more information about the 68040's current state.

For a moment there I thought you threw your machine at someone's PC.

Yeah, that's right, the chip that ran the Quadra can really, secretly, run at 2 GHz.

or maybe the fact that the article was published on April 1 has something to do with it. Hmm... I wonder what that could mean...
