I would like to speed up my Zenith PC.  I am not a hardware hack, so I
would like some advice.  I was wondering if putting in a faster clock
and the 8-Mhz 8088 (or NEC V20) would be the right approach.  I know
that the memory chips would have to be replaced.  Have I forgotten
anything?  Does this idea make sense?  Has anyone done this already?
Finally, does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks,
