Hi out there.

We have some vanilla IBM PC-ATs that we would like to speed up. Currently
their system clocks run at 6MHz. Can anybody tell me what we have to do
to speed them up to various faster rates? We'd like to have 10MHz but
will settle for 8MHz (for the time being). I'm assuming 12MHz is out of
the question on these machines, but please inform me if I'm wrong.
I believe we have 150ns RAM chips in these machines. Do we need to
get, say, 120ns chips to keep up with any speed increase?

				Thanks,
