Has anybody toyed around with a way to speed this machine up a bit? I'm not looking for blazing speed, but if I could jack it up to 10 or 12 mhz by a simple CPU chip replacement, I'd do it. I know where I can get the CPU chips.. (relatively cheap too) but is there something else I need to consider? If it's too much work or money I'm not going to bother, hopefully, in a few months, I'll be able to purchase that "dream" 386 system. (486 is still too far up in the clouds) thanks
