I have been successfully using a NEC V30 (cost me around $18 I think)
in my DeskPro for some time.  Installation was simple and has made me
quite happy.  I don't have any performance figures on hand but everything
has much more of a snap to it than before.  Apparently the V30 is more
of an improvement over the 8086 than the V20 over the 8088.  I remember
reading that someplace, probably Dr. Dobb's I suspect.  Anyway, I've had
no compatibility problems and I recommend it highly...
