Yup thats correct it was a NEC V20 chip, I cant remember how fast it was, I 
want to say 10mhz but I do know it was a little faster than the stock 8088 
chip.

I miss they days of turning on the computer and going to get a cup of coffee 
and maybe when you got back it would be booted up to the good old C:> .
