Yes, the 68040 is a drop-in replacement for the 68LC040. There is
information out there about how to overclock that CPU as well. It is
rumored that the Canadian 605s ran at 33/66MHz. AFAIK, the 68LC040 in your
Quadra 605 actually runs at 50MHz internally, but on a 25MHz external bus.

Sorry to hear about the abused PowerBook.. :|
