I am assuming the LC040 is the socketed type used in desktop macs. If so,
you may find a used 040 on Ebay. I have had good
success with these. Also, check out
http://www.nexcomp.com/motherboard.html. I bought one of their 25 Mhz 040
and it works fine in
my Q605. Most 25Mhz 040's should work fine a 33 Mhz, but you may want to
spring for a 33 Mhz rated one just to be safe.
