Hello I have an Amiga 2000 and would like to get a little more speed out of
it. I have not opened it up yet to look at the exact motorola number on the
CPU, but I am interested in upgrading the 68000. However I need some more
info. What are the pros and cons to putting in a 68010? I have the latest
Jameco catalog and they list several 68000 series chips.

                        MC68000L8
                        MC68000L10
                        MC68000P12

What are the differences between L and P, and 8, 10, 12?

Which chip is the one used in the 2000?

Also listed in this catalog is MC68010L10, is this a direct replacement for
the CPU in the 2000? Will all the software that runs under the 68000 with
WB1.2 run with the 68010?

BTW I have the mechanical ability to do the swap, but I don't have the
technical knowledge of these chips. FYI the MC68010L10 is listed for $29.95.
One other chip that caught my eye was an MC68008L8, what is it?

Thanks in advance!
