It will only run at the clock speed the motherboard is set to. 33 MHz is all you can get.

Hi folks.... I just bought a MC68882FN33A FPU for my Color Classic II logic board.  I think the "33" at the end of the Motorola model number means that it runs at 33Mhz. (?) Afte…

It can update, but not all the dialogs will have the updated UK Spellings. You would end up with a Frankenstein system where the dialog windows will come up with either American or…

The issue is not the SSD Drive you have but the interface it is on. That is the biggest limiting factor of the system 95% of the time. Next is the OS, as it has to do the task and …

The NuVista was smoking after the pop. I removed what appeared to be a charred component which is what the screwdriver is pointing at. When I get it out again I will try the sugges…
