IIRC, the general rule of thumb is:
8086 -- 68000
80286 -- 68020
80386 -- 68030
80486 -- 68040
It's once you start talking about Pentium and higher vs. PPC 601 and higher
than things start getting confusing.

Very little. While it's still a good system, you really need old copies of
software. I've got an SE/30 that's got MS Word 5.1 on it, and it makes a
great word processor. Far better than Windows could do on a simular system.
