Well, just got the box today.  It's a hand me down from my cousin.  I know 
it's a K6-2/533 (Yech!)  And according to the Compaq factory stats, has 64M 
of RAM, but I'm hoping my cousin added a bit more to it in the time he's 
owned it.  

Haven't had a chance to check it out yet.  I'm busy reconfiguring my desktop 
system to dual-boot Linux/XP.  I'm pretty good about keeping XP tuned up 
right, but I've just installed/uninstalled too many programs over the last 
year and change, and it was gettin' twitchy, so I decided to blow it away.

I'm tryin' to make a Linux desktop I can use full-time, and I'll just keep the 
XP partition for gaming.  SimplyMEPIS 3.3.  Debian distro.  Very slick.  I 
highly recommend it for anybody looking for a Windows-replacement version of 
Linux.  Though it only comes with KDE, so you have to install Gnome yourself 
if you want it.  Really a very simple process with the Synaptic Package 
manager.

But I digress...
