I heard that there is a 68030 replacement for the Mac II that runs at 33MHz
for about $1000.  First of all, how can the processor run faster than the
rest of the motherboard?  Second, how can they supply this at half the price
Apple charges for the II->IIx upgrade which is only 16MHz.

Was I just misinformed?  Does anyone have more details or experience with
this?

Thanks,
