After using a PC AT at work I have become even more unhappy with the
performance of my home PC.  To rectify some of its short commings I
am interested in buying some form of speedup hardware.  In particular
I am interested in the performance of the "ORCHID PC turbo 186".  

Any help with the following questions would be greatly appreciated:

	1) Recommendations on methods of speeding up the PC. 
	e.g. Add on 186 or 286 boards, New mother-boards capable of
	running 8088-2 (7 meg) processor and supporting parts.

	2) If you are recommending an add on board, will it work
	with a PC look alike? (in particular a FARADAY 6400, this board
	was packaged in numerous PC clones.)

	3) S/W compatibility?

I am planning on buying something the first part of April so any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Please do not recommend that I purchase an AT as the major reason for this
method of speeding up my PC is $$$ and even with discounts the AT is out
of reach for another year or so.
