Ah, sorry about that. Yes, SODimms are still pricey in comparison.
The X21 is from late 2001; that is ~8 years old. It seems entirely reasonable to be that such a machine is going to really struggle to run a current desktop install. Expecting a five year life span from a computer is the bench mark I hear most often.
My current computer is from 2000/1 vintage, a P-IV, 1 GiB ram. It would run better if I could add more memory to it, but it is almost impossible to find it, and then, expensive. DIMM PC133 it uses. Showing old age, but quite ussable. Actually, I use similar, even older machines (P-III) at work. One of the problems is that Novell people use the age of my computer as a "wontfix" excuse on bugzillas. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
