PCWorks: how to increase ram in an old NEC 5000

How about Millennium? Would that operate any better?

On the Socket 7 and Slot 1. How do I tell? There are no
indication on 
the Mother Board that I can see. The Pentium chip has 20
pins in one 
direction and A thru Y in the other.

The computer speed has jumpers that can go from 90 mhz
processor with 
60mhz bus speed up to max of 233 mhz MMX and 66 mhz on the
bus. It is 
jumped at max.

Thanks
