What is the highest 68000 at this time 68400? How fast? In my opinion, gaining performance by making a hotter more complicated cpu is no kind of solution. We should of gone multiprocessing back on the 386's. It is still not a solution either because I dont believe in any computer that has moving parts when it comes to reliablity. The machine should be completly sealed from the environment (no dust) and fully submersible (more or less).
