Hi Austin, <p>Thanks for info. But I can't see the -6 option in my old 4.2i fndtn <BR> software. Does that mean I have to upgrade to latest ISE if I want to use those part? Or is there anyway to get around with my favorite SW ???

? Don't know. There may be a service pack for 4.2 that has the speed files for -6, and then again, you may have to upgrade. If you do, your designs will probably run twice as fast, as every major release has been ~ 50% faster by improvements in the software, mapping, and place and route.
