Probably not. I believe 166 MHz was the slowest Pentium-MMX chip. > - 64 Mb memory - no free memory slots :-( Those old (FX chipset?) motherboards only have a cacheable area of 64MB, so using more than 64MB can actually reduce performance, though I think this effect would be less significant on Linux. > - 3 Gb IDE disk - should be enough > - ATAPI CD-Rom drive > - 3.5" floopy (two of them actually!) > - 3com Etherlink III ISA (they won't need it, but handy while setting > the box up) > - Modem (not sure what type, but not a winmodem.
