Mick:

What is the make and model of your motherboard?

A plain Jane Pentium Classic motherboard with a P-166
will likely only get to P-200, hardly worth the effort.

If you can go to a 233MMX, then it would be worth
the jump. That level or higher.

A faster hard drive or an increase of RAM, say 32MB
to 64 MB is a more cost effective enhancement.
