The speed increase will probably only average about 5% or so.
Some programs will not work, so for only 5% increase I wouldn't
make the modification.  That way when something doesn't work there's
one less thing to worry about.

L means ceramic package, P means plastic.
8, 10, & 12 mean 8 MHz, 10 MHz, & 12.5MHz respectively.

>Which chip is the one used in the 2000?

The Amiga 68000 runs at just over 7 MHz, so the 8 MHz version
will probably be the cheapest one you'll find.  Also, you may
use either the L or P version.
