NeXTcube Turbo

<h2 id="hardware">Hardware</h2>
<p>The NeXTcube Turbo is a development of the earlier NeXTcube. It differs from its predecessor in having a 33 MHz <a href="/facts/Motorola_68040/G12gptjt">68040</a> processor.
</p><p>The <a href="/facts/NeXTdimension/a6w3W7MK">NeXTdimension</a> board can also be used in the NeXTcube Turbo.
</p><p>There was also a very rare accelerator board known as the Nitro; between 5 and 20 are estimated to have been made. It increased the speed of a NeXTcube Turbo by replacing the standard 33 MHz processor with a 40 MHz one.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a>
