I think the real problem is that the OS wouldn't like the CPU. If you want
a faster NeXT system you're probably better off buying a Semi modern PC with
a nicely outfited Matrox Millenium II graphics card (IIRC, that's the best
card OPENSTEP 4.2 supports). This would also allow you to have 100Mbit
ethernet (the lack of which was why I gave away my slab).
