From article <19163@netnews.upenn.edu>, by tony@scotty.dccs.upenn.edu (Anthony Olejnik): > I have an AT&T 6300 (8086 based XT clone) that I would like to speed up. > I presently get a performance index of 1.8 (as determined by using > Norton Utilities' System Information program - si.com). > > I'm thinking about replacing the 8086 with a V30 chip. The ads that I've > seen claim an "up to 30%" speed increase. > Installing a V30 (8 mHz) is well worth the $8.00 it costs. I estimate an average speedup of about 15% for the applications I run. If you should install a V30, NEC has some excellant free documentation available for this chip. David R. Cook Clemson University, SC
