33 MHz is the bus speed. 66 MHz is the actual CPU speed.
That's wrong. 33MHz is the bus speed and CPU speed. The CPU has a clock input at 66MHz, but no data is processed at 66MHz. All processing occurs at 33MHz. The 68040 is 1:1 tied to the bus speed. It was a marketing trick of Motorola and Apple to "double" the CPU speed based on the clock input, and eventually both went away from that.

Thanks for the info. I now know what to expect when my 190 comes in.
