Not if you need an FPU. And with an 060, the only thing you could feasibly
do that fast WITHOUT an FPU would be a bit of MP3 decoding. Everything
else is pretty pointless and/or doable with slower chips :)

60 MIPS means absolutely bugger all, though. Why? Because first of all,
MIPS are a test of raw speed on selected, optimised instructions. And
second of all, most people who "rate" Amiga cards use SysInfo, and the
last version of SysInfo was released well before the first 68060 cards
and therefore cannot know about them (apart from them being gnarly
68040-a-likes ;)
