You can't just I believe the 68000 is 32-bit. It has a 24-bit address bus to reduce the pincount. >So do you think that a 16 K program running on a H7 RISC at 10 mhz will play >better and faster than a 128 K program running on and old 6502 at 6 mhz ? I suspect the H is a slower version (predecessor?) of the SH, so a 10MHz part will run at < 8 MIPS. For some reason I can't seem to find ANY performance data on the 6502. But I guess that it runs at a fraction of a "MIP." So my WAG is that the H7 is 10 times faster than the 6502, and therefore ~150 points stronger. (Although the 128k program probably has a much bigger opening book than the 16k program... not sure how much that is worth...) -Tom
