Hmm, the ISA indicate that it would be a 1000-4000.  The 030/33 makes me
think 3000 or 4000.  Both extremely upgradeable, but the 3000 would be
better.

Still, 1200s seem to be the most popular, these days for upgrading.

Check out this 1200:

I don't really know all the details, but if it is a 030/33 then the CPU
would definately be fast enough.
