The Quadra 650 is 33MHz and the Centris is 25. My Centris apparently
has a full 68040, if the System Profiler in MacOS can be believed. I
haven't actually pulled the heat sink off to see what's stamped on the
chip though. In any case, I have quite a few Macs now, and could borrow
an '040 from a Q700 if needed.
