Well, I was gettin' ready to over-clock the Q605 when I looked at the CPU. It's marked:

X668040HRC25M

Which is a 25 MHZ chip, not a 33MHz like I thought. I put all my Mac 68xxx gear in storage in Dec 2006 and I *know* I bought a 33MHz CPU for it. Which means that the 33MHz CPU chip is SOMEWHERE in my storage unit :(

Here's what is in the Q605 (I have an external SCSI tower with 4 open bays, 1 internal bay):

SCSI ID Item Location

0 4 gig Seagate Hard Drive (3 partitions) Internal

1 Yamaha CD Burner Tower

2 4 GB Seagate Hard Drive (2 Partitions) Tower

3 Syquest 88 Drive Tower

4 HP SureStore Tape 5000 Tower

5 Teac Tape Drive (40 MB) Tower

6 Zip 100 Drive External

7 Quadra 605 CPU Internal

LC PDS Asante MacCon Ethernet Card Internal

Floppy 1.4MB Internal Floppy Drive Internal

CPU 25MHz full 68040 @ 25Mhz Internal

RAM 128MB Internal

VRAM 2 512K Video RAM (1,024 KB) Internal

Monitor VGA 1024x768 Pro/View LCD w/adapter External

My CD *IS* a burner. I forgot that I had bought the Yamaha burner 8-o

I need to get a heatsink for it. The issue is that the 128 MB RAM SIMM lies over the edge of the 68040 CPU. Makes for a very tight fit in the Q605. Anyone solved this problem before?

Thanks!
