I am surpised you have not had more, errm, slightly negative reactions. I have had to buy some ridiculously expensive EDO ram to try and improve the performance of my very humble, non super- P166 Mhz. If I had asked publicly for someone to give me some EDO .. would you have given me some ? I am sure your project is very admirable; but you are being just a little naive to not expect some kind of, shall we say, questioning about it. Cliff p.s. Maybe you should run seti@home on it, may be extraterrestrials have cheaper technology for us :)

I was under the impression i686 was for PIII's, however, when trying to install an update under the i686 tree, it failed, but the same package under the i686 tree succeeded. Thanks for any info, -CC
