LF: Upgrading the CPU



I have surfed the moterolla site and have discovered the god of chips:  The
68060.  It can run at 66 mHz, execute 3 instructions per clock cycle, and
perform over 50 MIPS (I think as high as 100 MIPS).  This is incredible
compared to the 68000's 10 MIPS.  What are the chances of chip swapping.
Could this prove fatal?  How about using the 33mHz version of the 68000,
would this be ok?  I also discovered that the chip is available in forms
coming with as much as 256k ram and attached eprom.  Is there any way to
make use of this?  The chips are capable of addressing up to at least 4 gig
of ram, is it possible to upgrade the ram?  Any one know?  Well thanks.
