There isn't any 66MHz '040. The processor in the Q950 is a 68040 at 33MHz
which may or may not work in the Centris (due to the way the '040 is
clocked). It should not casue any damage to either the processor or the
computer. You might want to see if you can change the oscillator in the
C650, it should run at 33Mhz with the new processor then. This will
effectivly make it a Q650/Q800.
