Editing Motorola 68040 (section)

==Usage==
In [[Macintosh|Apple Macintosh]] computers, the 68040 was introduced in the [[Macintosh Quadra]], which was named for the chip. The fastest 68040 processor was clocked at 40&nbsp;MHz and it was used only in the [[Quadra 840AV]]. The more expensive models in the (short-lived) [[Macintosh Centris]] line also used the 68040, while the cheaper Quadra, Centris, [[Macintosh Performa|Performa]], and some late-model [[Macintosh LC|LC]] used the [[Motorola 68LC040|68LC040]]. 

The 68040 was also used in other [[personal computer]]s, such as the [[Amiga 4000]] and [[Amiga 4000T]], as well as a number of [[workstation]]s, [[Alpha Microsystems]] servers, the [[HP 9000]]/400 series, [[NCR Corporation]]'s TOWER 32/750, 32/825 and 32/850,<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Fitzgerald |first=Michael |date=May 6, 1991 |title=NCR promises Tower line lives |magazine=Computerworld |url=https://archive.org/details/sim_computerworld_1991-05-06_25_18/page/n115 |access-date=31 Mar 2023}}</ref> [[Apollo Computer]]'s [[Apollo/Domain|DN5500]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://web-docs.gsi.de/~kraemer/COLLECTION/www.hunkler.com/aegis/aegis_sg.html|title=Survival Guide for Apollo Workstations|author=Tim Hunkler|date=July 1996|access-date=2022-10-13}}</ref> and later versions of the [[NeXT]] computer.

The 68040 processor is used in the [[Flight management system|flight management computers]] (FMC) aboard many [[Boeing 737]] aircraft, including all [[Boeing 737 Next Generation|Next Generation]] and [[Boeing 737 MAX|MAX]] models.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Brady |first=Chris |title=The Boeing 737 Flight Management Computer |url=http://www.b737.org.uk/fmc.htm |access-date=24 June 2022 |website=The Boeing 737 Technical Site}}</ref>
