 I put a NEC V30 in my Compaq Deskpro (XT clone) about two years
 ago.

 I have roughly measured about a 5-10% increase in speed (remember,
 disk times are still the killers for a lot of software)

 I have run the following over the past two years with absolutely
 no problems:

     Microsoft C 4.0
     MASM 4.0
     Turbo Pascal
     Wordstar
     Word Perfect
     Multimate
     Voced
     PLM-86
     ASM-86
     LINK86
     Supercalc
     Lotus
     lots of games
     Kermit
     Crosstalk
     PKARC
     PKXARC
     and more I can't remember
