Perfoma 450 with only a 16mhz CPU

Posted by: chu-oh on 2019-05-29 04:06:23 Weird one, but my newly purchased and yet to be recapped Performa 650 seems to only have a 16 mhz CPU (MC68030FE16B). Did some googling and found @techknight had an LCIII with the same CPU. As far as I can tell it's definitely an LCIII board and not an LCII. Anyone got any thoughts on this? Probably not a good idea to overclock the poor thing.

Posted by: Solvalou on 2019-05-29 10:26:20 Yeah I had an LC III with a 16MHz CPU but had a sticker over it with 25MHz designation on it. So I'm guessing they ran out of 25MHz ones just over locked them from factory. Do you know if yours is clocked at 16MHz or 25MHz?
