write-back per default for normal memory (I/O space and so on is mapped
serialized).
But that doesn't matter for BogoMips. BogoMips only measure the number of
add instructions required to delay a microsecond (in simple words).

The 060 is clocked at 50 MHz (or 60 MHz if your Milan is jumpered to 30
MHz).

Someone got a second hand 060 (RC, 60 MHz) for DM 390. So not so expensive :-)
