Hello, world
		I want to speed up my 8086 based PC. I've heard of certain
chips that one can replace the 8086 with. Can you recommend a good substitute,
and answer a few pertinent questions for me ?

Questions :
	1. Most important.  Will I lose any/some/all of the IBM compatibility
	   by changing the CPU ?

	2. Is it easy to do DIY style ?

	3. Would anyone be interested in a second hand 8086 ?

		Thanks in advance,
