Tony,
>>And I find that it runs really nicely with 320 Mbytes of Ram on a Celeron 333.
The DRAM makers will love you but your post is blasphemy to Intel! You don't find that status switching among several applications is slow? One time after I upgraded some years ago, even opening my email after being in Netscape or Excel or something, was 10 times faster.
It could be quicker, so I do plan to upgrade some time. I am running the PC100 memory at 66MHz, so I will find the fastest cheap P3 that will run on that motherboard (AMI something or other) and increase the bus speed to 100MHz.
This machine is very reliable - runs for many months at a time with loads of windows open, USB ADSL modem, USB ISDN adapter, FAX modem, dual channel SCSI controller and multiple Ultra SCSI discs, IDE discs, SCSI scanner, DAT drive, SCSI CD recorder ... and it runs as a network router and firewall too.
I often run with over 1 Gbyte of virtual memory for processing audio files in Matlab. I can do most things while burning CDs.
