We could gain some SERIOUS speed improvements! The buses are now running at 1
Mhz. Make these, e.g. 10 or 20 Mhz, and see what it can do.

Example: my roommate has a 486 DX 120 Mhz computer. He bought a new mamaboard,
and kept his CPU. The new motherboard had faster buses, and ISA/VESA/PCI
(whatever they are called) buses, and he had MAJOR speed improvements. Games
like Quake and Duke Nuke 'm had much better framerates (just an example). He
also had more mb's per second transfer speed on his (same) hard disk.
