RC is the package type: ceramic, pin-through hole, in this case. B is the "step", the particular revision of the masks used to make the chip. "XC" should read "MC", meaning Motorola, not "XC", and the "LC" will be absent on a full function chip. Such a full function chip would read: "MC68040RC33B", and this would decode as follows: MC - Motorola 68040 - it's an '040 (D'oh) RC - ceramic, pin-through-hole package 33 - 33/66 MHz (33 MHz CPU, using a 66 MHz oscillator) B - second revision of the mask set -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
