Yes, the Centris 650 board with 50MHz 68040 you have seems to outperform a Quadra 800. However, a Quadra 800 can be clock chipped to 44MHz, or 48MHz if you dont need the serial ports. That processor speed combined with an equivelant bus speed, however, may outperform a 50MHz 68040 on a 25MHz bus. And though it would take some soldering, if you have the correct solder and a soldering iron, would only cost $5. That being said, you may be able to bumb the speed of the MicroMac to 55MHz, give or take.
