Sourcing Legit MC68882 FPUs - Data

wow, TIL! I pulled mine from an Asante Maccon, somehow NIB still sealed. Also didn’t know it could be used elsewhere.

Just installed a PowerCache card from Bolle. Sourced an FPU from fleabay, MC68882FN16A with Freescale logo and 1J23S & dateCode QQEV0549.
When checking any application like TattleTech, it says the Mac is using the onboard FPU regardless if the external FPU is socketed or not. Is this the normal report? All tests pass, but is there a specific way to check if the fleabay FPU is working?
MacBench 3.0 reports FPU scores that are indeed faster than with the L2 card instead of the PowerCache.
