I am posting this for a friend, but please respond directly to me. I will give him this info. He has a 2500/030 running at 25Mhz and has heard about the faster 33MHZ and 50 Mhz accelerators available now. Is it possible to speed up his current card by maybe just replacing some of the chips or would he have to do a complete upgrade by buying one of the new GVP cards and selling his current one? ============================================================================== \ / \ \ / / Sean Schur \ \ / / \ \/ / USENET: schur@isi.edu \ /a\mpyr/ Compuserve: 70731,1102 \/ \ / ideo Plink: OSS259 \/ ==============================================================================

GVP has an upgrade offer on to take _any_ accellerator card in trade
for a GVP 3001, so your friend doesn't _have_ to sell his. If he's got
a GVP card, he ought to be able to send it to GVP to upgrade to the higher
clock speed for the price differrence between the boards. At least, that's
what the promised me when I was looking into accelerators.
