Rons Computer Videos | BLAZING. FAST. MAC. The Performer PDS 68030 Accelerator by MacEffects! @RonsCompVids | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
There's a new boss in town, and it's the Performer PDS 68030 Accelerator for Apple Macintosh SE by MacEffects. The 16Mhz 030 combined with the 25mhz FPU on this card is a real shot in the arm for many tasks on your stock Macintosh SE! Mac II performance on a budget!

In this video, I benchmark the card using both Speedometer and real-world tasks in Adobe Photoshop and Stuffit, and compare those scores to the stock machine.

Do you own one of these cards? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it in the comments!
