The tale of a CPU upgrade
Steel Dust Editions needed "more power." We decided on a replacement CPU unit by PowerLeap. The AMD K6-2/333 is a good improvement over our old Cyrix 6x86/133 (PR166+) and should carry us well into 1999 with no further upgrades needed (I hope 8-). If you have a similar situation, the PowerLeap unit is a good upgrade option to consider.
