Nope. Both the Color Classic and the Classic II as
well as the
SE-30s were 68030 16Mhz machines. The CC was a little slower
than the II due to the color draw. But yes the SE/30 is reputed to
be faster.
Larry,
I'm afraid you're wrong there....the CC II was clocked at
33mhz and had a true 32 bit data path while the CC was based on a 16
bit data path, the same as the LC series, and was clocked at 16 mhz.
All were based on the 68030. The 16bit data path is what crippled
the CC so badly, not the 16mhz clock. It's said that it only had
roughly 60-70 % of the speed of the SE/30.
