These are great little machines, somewhat let down by the ultra-common Celeron CPU and the dull, low-res TFT. Has anyone ever either upgraded the CPU or replaced the LCD with something better?

There's an archived Japanese web page that describes an FSB overclock from 66 to 100MHz, boosting a Celeron 300 to 450MHz: https://web.archive.org/web/20050715062 ... pu_450.htm.

I think the top end 240 machines went up to about 500Mhz anyway though...

IIRC the original 240 only got up to 400MHz. It's the subsequent 240X that got a 500MHz Pentium III.

I think the 240Z went up to P-III 600Mhz. Sorry, I thought we were 'counting' all 240 series models...!
