I just put in a NEC V30 into my AT&T 6300.
The Norton SI compares as follows:
6300 at work 6300 at home (with V30)
Computing index: 1.9 4.2
Disk Index (interleave) 0.5 (2) 1.2 (6)
Performance Index 1.4 3.2
I realize I must low-level format my hard disk at work and change the
interleave.
Anyway, My dad saw this and wanted to know how much it cost me
to "soup it up".
When I told him that it only cost me $13. He wanted to know if I could do
that to his IBM PC/XT.
I realize that it's an 8088 and requires the V20 instead of the V30.
I seem to recall someone saying that it's not as big of an improvement.
Any one have experiences (compatibility problems, results before and
after, etc...)
Thanks in advance.
