Is it possible to upgrade the Pentium 90 chip on an F330? (Haven't opened mine in a while... Is it in a ZIF socket?)
Has anyone tried or looked into this?
Yes you can, and we (network appliance) have done it up to 155 unfortunatly the bottlneck is the memory subsystem which can't be upgraded so you will get the same performance while running a non-standard config (we ran 155 to see if it helped with performance we have not run it through a qa cycle). So there really is NO reason for this. Remember all the cpu is doing is moving bytes with the ocasional XOR or checksum (still memory bound).

slot 0: System Board 90 MHz (NetApp System Board I rev-b) Memory Size: 256 MBI know it is possible to upgrade the entire head or move the disks to another array with the same size disks.
