I'm preparing to clock chip my 25MHz Quadra 700 to 33MHz.   I need that little bit of extra oomph to make this machine just a tad bit more useable.   I'm convinced that this upgrade will get me to where I want to be.  At least, it should get me closer to what I'm used to as far as 68k performance goes -- I'm 33MHz spoiled.   lmfao.

I've already tracked down a fan for the processor to keep it running a little cooler.   I've also pulled the old 25MHz 68040 processor and replaced it with a 33MHz processor.   This in and of itself won't give me any more speed or performance than the stock processor, though it should hopefully be a little more stable when I replace the oscillator.

The next step is to track down a 66MHz oscillator to replace the stock 50MHz unit.   This little silver box is what will give me the extra horsepower.   And this machine really needs it.

If you can find one of the Sonnet QuadDoublers you'd have a 50mhz 68040.

I already found one.   I just don't know if it would be worth the money.   I'm actually thinking of tossing the old Quadra.   It's just too slow to meet any need that I may have for it.
