Jerry, Right on :) I agree totally...
I am running a three year old P166 Sony VAIO. I made the same decision that you did and jacked the RAM to 64MB and added a Western Digital 6.4 GB HD. It gave me three new 2GB partitions and is much faster than my older HDs. I also upgraded to an EXTERNAL 56Kb Zoom V90 Modem. The extra RAM and Additional HD made a new machine out of my old one. I expect the 2.2.x kernel to give me 2 to 5 times more speed than I have now with the 2.0.36 kernel. That should hold me for another 2-3 years. By that time the commodity computer will be a 1GHz box with 256MB RAM and 32GB HD. By then I should have a cable modem. Jerry
