Thanks for nice words. Bill Mensch several years ago clearly stated it is possible to make 6502 at 10 Ghz, I worked with hardware men recently and they confirmed this claim. Interestingly, Bill, in his oral history, said that 6502 would be used at 4 MHz in 1976 - it was really very fast. In 1995 he said that some chips were used at 10 Mhz in 1976 - 5 MIPS! - it was really shocking speed which could beat even the best mainframes of these days! However they did not have RAM that could match such fantastic performance.
