I retired a Compaq that finally gave out and am running this 2g celeron w/40 g maxtor
and ONLY 128 of DDRAM. It's smooth and as fast as my 1g Duron with 384. I upped the
sp's to 12 and have had no problems. Initially ran 98 SE on it , wiped it and then
ME. ME ran better, even with the low ram. Three equal splits on the format for the
partitions, system, storage and backup. Don't know what to compare the cluster size
to in order to evaluate the flow of operation.
