Kinda. The SE/30 isn't designed for the processor to run at a faster
speed by itself. Daystar and others also have an extra clock crystal to
run the CPU faster (part of the accelerator card). That chip would work
in an SE/30, but you'd need for the system to run at a faster clock to
see a difference.

The chip would be great for an accelerator card that lacked a CPU but
was designed to handle 50 MHz chips. :-)

Take care,
