I've asked many times about memory upgrades and stuff like that...once again, I am asking that same question, but in a different context (or whatever). I have an idea about both memory upgrade and refresh rate change... Well, lets start it off with my system...I have a Tandy 1000 TL (the most limited system made on earth (I think)); it has a 8 Mhz 80286 (AMD) and uses 256K chips running at 150ns. Despite many replies of things like 'it won't work' or 'it will have an increase, but very, very little', I have thought of this: Replace all the 150ns chips with 120 or 100ns, and then change the refresh rate with a shareware program that does the 'precise' calculations automatically. I have very great doubts since I still don't know the exact limitations of my computer, but this is a shot in the dark to make the best out of a system I've outgrown (I'd like to get a 486, but being a student limits my expenditure). So, if you will, please send me comments, advise, reasonable flames that are logical in reason...
