You will have to rebuild the book.

No discernable difference.  If anything, it will be slower.

16 megs ram?  I doubt if you can even load Win98 on it.  If you did, I am pretty
sure you would be sorry you did it.

A modern machine can easily get 1,000,000 NPS with crafty.  100x as fast as your
boat-anchor.  Sounds like a waste of perfectly good electricity to me, to run
that box.
