Editing Macintosh LC II (section)

== Architecture and Processor ==

The LC II uses a Motorola 68030 processor running at 16 MHz. Despite the upgraded processor, the LC II retains the 16-bit memory bus from the original LC, which limits memory bandwidth.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://lowendmac.com/1992/macintosh-lc-ii/ |title=Macintosh LC II |publisher=Low End Mac |access-date=2026-02-09}}</ref> The 68030 includes an integrated PMMU, enabling System 7's virtual memory feature.

The Gestalt ID for the Macintosh LC II is 19 or 37 (depending on ROM version).

'''Note:''' Although the 68030 supports an FPU, Apple did not include an FPU socket on the LC II logic board as a cost-saving measure.
