A freind of mine just got an old, 4.77 MHz PC Clone.  I am looking for
inexpensive ways to speed it up for her.

I am aware of the V20, which replaces the 8088.  Is there anything else that I have to do, besides unplug the 8088 and plug in the V20?  Anyone know a
particularly good place to buy a V20?  Anything I should watch out for?

Is there anything else I can do?  Replace the crystal with a faster one?  etc,
etc.  I am not afraid to get my hands dirty, but it has to be cheap, and not
take TOO long.

Thanks!!!
