    Don't unless free and you plan to run linux. nearly 1.5 years ago I got
a PII/333 128M that is so far out of date now, mainly due to finally the
buss speed increasing ... There are lots of reasons ... get to your local
flea market with about $800, tell them to take out everything you have in
your present machine like modem and CD-ROM and floppy drives and ask for a
price. If you know what you are doing, tell them to keep their HDs also.
Upgrade the rest in your own time.
