My $0.02 worth: Three times I have tested 486 for possible clients but gave up for use a X/GUI terminal. For shell terminal it is lovely and works but graphic interface slows down horribly. Even getting hands on RAM for such a system is going to be expensive and most MoBo's do not have enough slots as the RAM sizes are also 2/4mb per stick. Agan MoBo's with ISA network cards are a no no. As a proof of concept they can be shown to work but for OO uisng java et. al. I am sceptical. -- Regards, Sudev Barar ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
