Take the unmodified Q650.

Q650 has a biger power supply and its newer.

All 040's run internaly 2x there external clock speed.
Motorola identified there chips by there external clock speed and
Intel identified there chips by there internal clock speed.

my P475 was 50 % faster in CPU bench marks than my friends' IIfx.
So the Q650=DX2 66, Q700=DX2 40, P475=SX2 50, IIfx=~SX 40
