foetoid Full Member USA 554 Posts	Posted - 05 Nov 2002 : 21:42:03 want some? I got a catalog today that has motorola processors ranging from 68000 to some of the latest PPC processors. What doesn't make sense though is that the later PPC processors cost less than the 500 dollar 68LC060. Check out www.digikey.com for stuff too! ________________ foetoid, that's (fee-toy-duh) http://www.foetoid.doesntexist.com
Clinton Full Member USA 700 Posts	Posted - 05 Nov 2002 : 21:58:45 odd. though the 68k Procs were CISC and the PPC chips were RISC, so that may have something to do with it WTF, $500 for an LC040? what the hell are they smoking????? I saw on motorola.com the $300 price tag for an MC68040, that I thought was for thousandlots, but I guess that I was wrong.'

New stock procs at Moto are only going to go up in value, not down. jt ™. Trash Hauler: call sign: eight-ball C.O. AC-130H SpecOps 68kMLAAF

oldmacman Full Member USA 713 Posts	Posted - 06 Nov 2002 : 14:44:41 No, the 68k chips were all CISC, and the PPC chips are all RISC. That's why all the PPC machines are faster than a Pentium of the same speed. BTW, I'm posting this with Lynx under YDL 2.3 on the 6400. Tell me how it looks!
