Craig, just a quick note on the RAM for the P133s. I've yet to find a PC of that vintage that would take anything more than a PC66 32Mb DIMM. I'd be interested to hear if you can pack any more RAM into it, but if it's got 4 SIMM sockets and one DIMM then thats possibly all you will get. Anything higher than a 32Mb DIMM generally gives 16Mb indicated in the POST during boot.
