Wala.

The more physical memory you have, the merrier!  Mura na lang ang RAM ngayon
at huwag kang masyadkong magtipid.  Unless your motherboard only supports up
to 1GB and has 2 slots.

Pwede.

It is called the PXE booting.  May pagkakaiba talaga ang speed sa BIOS/PXE
compared to a floppy.  But I'm not using PXE.  I'm happy with my NIC +
EPROM.  Actually, pareho lang ang performance ng PXE and NIC+EPROM.
