Both the DDR memory and the AGP card I want to reuse are 4 years old. ;-) It's a stroke of luck that I can reuse them, and it's even more lucky that the memory in dual-channel mode is just slightly slower than DDR2-533! So I won't be really losing that much speed. But upgrading to 1-2 GB will have an impact, and I might as well move to DDR2 when I do that. I'd rather pay a bit now and a bit over time than a whole big wad o' cash and upgrade everything. I also don't need another PC, I have 4 of them, including one that's so old it can't even be used for SlimServer (it's a P166 and I use SmoothWall on it.) I'd rather upgrade one gradually than get a whole new one. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34505 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
