Since no one has bothered to answer just go for it and if it ends up being too fast for some games you can find a way to slow it down. Looks like a really nice chip for its time and found its away into a Lot of machines.

I think i had that same question few days ago. But what i can say, the V serie processors are not expensive anymore.. Best bet is buying one en trying it out.. Then if you can make the conclusion if it would run to fast, you always can switch back if you want.

true. good thing China seems to have an endless supply of 80's and 90's PC chips. a V30 on a good 16 bit board should be just slightly slower then a 286 so I'm guessing a 5mhz v30 may be equivalent to a 4mhz 286.

Only keep till 10mhz ones.. Above 10mhz would indeed be much faster as you not wanted.

8086 is about 50% faster than an 8088. The V30 adds another 10% or so on top of that speed.
