Pete,
Before you sink money into a new oscillator and a new FPU, check out
Evergreen Technologies' 586. (www.evertech.com)

386DX-25, 50; 386DX-33, 66; 386DX-40, 80
486SX-20, 40; 486SX-25, 25; 486SX-33, 33
486DX-33, 33; 486DX-50, 50
486DX2-50, 25; 486DX2-66, 33
-----------------------------------
I think my best "mfg reccommended" option is to drop the oscillator to
33Mhz and replace the CPU with a 486DX2-66.
NB: The CPU currently on the board is not in the list above.<<
