Hmmm...that's good to know...guess that wouldn't help me, then. I wish they'd list CPUs by Mips, MFlops, or something more useful than MHz. > relative performance of the box.

Somewhat to my suprise, it actually runs reasonably well. If someone was looking for a good home for a P166, I'd be happy to give it a good home. I just double-checked and it has 128M (I don't remember upgrading it, but I guess I must have). I'd like to run Tomcat and Postgress on it...which may very well be too much for it. I should point out that all the services I host on it are _very_ lightly used. Chris ********************************* Chris Merrill [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************
