FrontBench 9975 frames on my heavily updated Falcon 060:

8GB DOM (disk on module flash hard drive, fits neatly directly on the motherboard and doesn't take up much space)
14MB RAM
Clock patched
New RTC
Fast TOS 4.04
The most important capacitors have been replaced, such as the main capacitor and the reset circuit capacitors
Low profile heatsinks on the most important chips like kombel, videl, 030 cpu and DSP
CT63 accelerator with the best rev.6 68060 CPU and 512MB Kingston SDRAM
CT63 power supply of the highest quality that handles 060 without problems
The power button has two modes (left = 060 mode, right = 030 mode and middle off)
Everything pre-installed with XBoot and various different profiles
The computer has run stably at 88MHZ in MINT 060 mode, which handles classics like Doom and Quake.
3 in 1 adapter VGA/RGB

Very good. Is that VGA, RGB and, if the latter, PAL or NTSC?

:lol: the frame counter is a 16bit number - it's not big enough -- yes the colours are wrong, it's being rendered for HDMI - the Atari shifter can't keep up :lol:
