Someone >please confirm or correct. Thanks. Gary Sounds reasonable. Seems to me the NEC V30 gave something like 10mhz? A 30% increase in CPU speed would be nice but with the availability of those chips being what it probably is today that would not be my first choice. The other improvements I have mentioned are available, even now, and the combined increase in processing power would be comparable to installing the NEC chip but at no cost. Free is always nice. :-) Charles Angelich The Ghost in the Machine!
