If the RAM is 72 pin then it may be worth it, assuming it is reasonably fast
and capable of being carried over when the motherboard finally runs out of
steam. For the price of a Pentium Overdrive you could get a shiny new
motherboard with a `proper' Pentium. What sort of applications do you run?
Are they Win 95 apps (and perhaps thrashing memory) or DOS bound (and need
horsepower)?
