Depends on what "standard apps" are. The machine specs given are just fine for a web or file server, maybe ok for light Office work and email, and equates to our average in-house DB server (Paradox or IB stuff) in recent years, only recently "upgraded" to around P800/256 or thereabouts. But I wouldn't these days use a P233 to run UI or CPU-intensive applications, nor those doing heaps of DB/data-presentation work. And all our workstations are *way* faster than that; typically 2-4 times the RAM as well.
