   I won't argue. It's written 120MHz on the face side of the computer.   
   This has a meaning, because with the same external clock frequency,   
   60MHz and with a MC68040 CPU, it should be written 60MHz on the Hades040   
      
   Well, but I have a Hades060 machine since about twenty years now. I made   
   benchmarks, and it is fast as it was announced on its face side !   
      
   I'm not arguing about the Motorola's documentation, but real hardware.
