Hi,

First posting.

I have only recently become aware of the net and so I have missed
out on a lot of information that would be of interest.

I would like a bit of information with respect to increasing the 
performance of a bland 4.77 mhz PC/XT clone. I realize that the
ultimate method is to buy an accelerator board, but I don't have 
the cash on hand for a $600 - $1000 purchase.

All I am really interested in is a slight speed increase, perhaps
double. I know that the NEC V20 chip is available, and that there
are aftermarket methods for juicing up the clock and so on ...

What I would like is a concise summary of all of the cheap methods
for getting a little bit of improvement from someone who has been
watching the news roll by for the last while.

Thanks,

Kim
