You're not going to see any speed increases unless you overclock the motherboard

Depends what you mean by "speed increases"
To whit:

A 40MHz '040 in a 20MHz machine will only run at 20MHz (so save your money and buy the slower part unless you plan to OC)

But:

The FPU in the full (not LC) '040 will speed up ... stuff ... a bit ... generally.

Yes, that's what I meant. The FPU will speed up math intensive operations and anything that depends on them, but you won't see a speedup in the rest of the CPU functions just by slapping in a faster chip without overclocking to the higher rated speed.
