TheNeXTcube Turbo is a high-endworkstation computer developed, manufactured and sold byNeXT. It superseded the earlierNeXTcube workstation and is housed in the same cube-shaped magnesium enclosure. It runs theNeXTSTEP operating system.
The NeXTcube Turbo is a development of the earlier NeXTcube. It differs from its predecessor in having a 33 MHz68040 processor.
TheNeXTdimension board can also be used in the NeXTcube Turbo.
There was also a very rare accelerator board known as the Nitro; between 5 and 20 are estimated to have been made. It increased the speed of a NeXTcube Turbo by replacing the standard 33 MHz processor with a 40 MHz one.[2]
