well  you can go and replace the board and procesor  just about anything you
can go for would be faster nowadays short of some older k6-2s  but  id
suggest looking at some auction sites to see if you can find a combo that
would do right by you. ubid and fair auction have nice  combo sets.  the rest
of your machine is a nice upper middle range  system
