---I don't get why somebody would stick with a 5400 when they can get a 7500 that has 8 dimm slots and 3 pci slots. It is so rediculously easy to work on. I'll sell the one I have now that has an Apple 200mhz processor for 50 bucks. I'll throw in all the spare ram I have lying aound the house for it too.
