Is it worth to mention that the 1240 cards have some incompatibility issues ?
High-end 68040 and 68060 cards
Be aware that once you get to this level you will likely find you need a bigger PSU for your Amiga and you should give some thought to air-flow and cooling...These CPUs get hot!
Apollo 1260's require an uprated PSU ...
020 CPU lacks a MMU, they are only present in the full 030.
That said, there an external MMU for the 68020 (also works on 010 processors), called 68851. But as far as I know, the only card that make use of the external MMU is the Commodore A2620 (intended for the A2000).

Would you please change that. That is just not right.
Amiga 68040 accelerators get very hot! 040s need heat sink and/or fan. The 040s used are based on 5v technology. They drink a lot of power and get hot.
There were later editions of the 040 based on 3.3v tech but I never heard of any accelerator ever using them.
Amiga 68060 accelerators are very cool! 060s do not need heat sink or fan. 060s are based on 3.3v technology. My Motorola manual says the original 50Mhz 68060 only dissipates 4.9 watts. (Compare that to your so-called "state-of-the-art" Intel Core i5. Ha!) But later editions of the 060 were die-shrunk and use less power. Because the later editions do use less power, they can be overclocked into the 80-110 Mhz range.

what's the max amount of memory you can install on apollo cards?
64mb's if its an 1200 card, 128mb's if its a 3000 and 4000 card.what's the max amount of memory you can install on apollo cards?
some 030 apollo cards for the 1200 can only have 8mb on board.
so it depends on what apollo card your talking about.
you can use a 040 thats 3.3 volt with a regulator in an amiga accellorator.
it was only the early revisions of 040 and 060 that got hot even when not overclocked.

I'm interested in apollo 1240/1260 cards and I like possibility to have 128MB RAM, but I can see it's not really possible

I think you need a Blizzard if you want more than 64MB. If you get the SCSI kit as well, you can have up to 256MB FastRAM.
Although, if you're being honest, do you need all that RAM? Or are you just doing it to make the numbers bigger? (A perfectly reasonable justification)

i do!
quake w needs 128MB and linux also can use it
quake 2
ah i see,but dont expect it to be playable though in aga.quake 2
i have quake 2 and run it in minigl on a voodoo on an 060 at 100mhz,and i only get about 13fps.
