	One problem I encountered with my turbo system was memory parity 
errors. It turned out there were really crappy Slooowww  RAM on the board
(barely fast enough for the brainded system it was cloned from )   :-)
A good investment is in a bunch of NEC 150ns RAM, if you can grab 'em. 
If you have obtained the computer in person, a good approach is to browbeat
the seller into letting you swap chips at will. Setting a NEC V20 in helps,
but don't do like one guy I know who was running an 8mhz system and put
one of the slow V20s in... Norton Utility sysinfo says mine has 3.2 times
the compute power of an IBM XT. Not shabby for 700$...
