That particular oldie is the only one we have that is working. The
other oldie is a P75 with 32M ram and a 500M hd. Somebody ran NT4
off of it before I started at the dept... Anyway, I don't want to
use oldie #2 for anything, except maybe as a doorstop... 8-) It's
way to slow.
However, I spoke with the university IT-shop, and they said they
could get me 4x 64MB EDO-modules of SIMMs pretty cheap. I think
things will shape up on oldie #1 with 256M of RAM. 8-)
BTW, can a P133 run a 100Mbps NIC in terms of saturating the feed?
I was thinking in the lines of gigabit NICs that ppl say shouldn't
be installed on computer systems with less than a 700MHz CPU. Would
the same be true with a 100Mbps NIC and a 133Mhz CPU?
