Good info to know... that does make the search harder. I just hate
tossing good mem when you can run so many services on those sub giga
hertz machines (not to mention as a light weight desktop). <br>
<br>
Speaking of which, I was playing with a live cd called elive
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.elivecd.org/">http://www.elivecd.org/</a>) last night. Comes with enlightenment and 3d
accelerated nvidia drivers out of the box. It boots to a very nice
looking desktop if you like eye candy. Worth checking out if you want a
break from kde and gnome. And its Debian based! For kicks, I installed
tux racer with apt and played that on a live cd system.<br>

is the ability to handle 4 (or more) sticks of 512 sdram (at
66/100/133). I don't mind if its in a case but one is not needed.
Contact me off list with the model and what you want for it.

That's a tough request... by the time memory controllers could handle
high-density ram (pretty much all 512Mb sticks are HD), common
motherboards were only shipping with 2 slots. You need to be looking
for something server-class from the SDRAM years in order to find a
board that can handle 4x 512Mb DIMMs.
That said, I'm sure there's a board somewhere... they're just not too common.
I have a couple of pentium boards (i430TX based) that are really nice,
with Pentium 200 w/MMx, and they take up to 128Mb DIMMs ;) Free to
anyone interested.
