That is good use of an older computer! This is a personal computer so I won't spend any money on it, but it will be put to use as a test system or file server.

I have an older P-III 700Mhz MB with 384 MB of Ram acting as a storage/FTP server. Installed Samba and an Intel SATA Raid card along with 4 - 80GB SATA Drives and it has been running like a champ. Just a thought, since you said you were "trying to get something done on this computer before is hoses itself...". Daryl S.
