My experience on older boxes (older than yours) suggests that your box would be good for just about anything. So rather than saying what to use it for, here's my guess at its limitations: heavy-duty web browsing (lots of graphics, lots of tabs) needs lots of memory. Perhaps add up to the system max (whatever it is on that box). It probably won't be good at editing video. I find editing photos tedius on my 486DX4-100 with 32 MB ram. You may be OK there. Put in a couple of big hard drives (I don't know what's there already) and use it as network storage (backup your other computers). If you plain don't need the computer and only installed OpenBSD to see if the box works, then give the box to someone who needs it. Doug.
