hi,

if your CPU is overclocked (as it appears to be if its running very hot (i
can touch my 060 when running) then you'll find that your FPU is most
likely dead/unusable.

thats the flip-side of getting a cheap high-end 060 card...most people
dont use the FPU so dont care. if you do 3D stuff or certain games then
you'll which you had an FPU.

if your 060 is indeed revision 1, then it should operate at 50MHz. most
060's can still operate fine at 60Mhz (simple Oscillater replace
overclock) but 66MHz is usually way out.

I'd use other tools, such as sysspeed to look at the FPU.
