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.
