Main Desktop machine but......
 
Case is AT and the fan is knackered
HD is only 4.3G
etc.
 
It is not possible to upgrade it, it needs to be replaced. Any of the individual parts are quite affordable but replacing everything is a much bigger deal. Its not helped by the fact that I have spent over £600 on repairs to both cars in the last month :-(
 
A new machine WILL be bought but possible not for a month or 2.
 
The only upside is that when I was planning my new machine the best spec was a 700MHz machine, the delay will mean I will get a MUCH  better machine for the price I was originally planning to spend. Most of the bits in my existing machine are about 4 years old and when that was upgraded in July 97 it cost me £224 for a P200+ and Mobo and Cheap PCI graphics card

Is this your main desktop machine Keith or your HA server?
 
900Mhz Duron is 44 quid + vat these days on ebuyer.com  (just noticed a HALF GIG of PC133 RAM is 29.99 + these days!).

I think it will HAVE to be 98SE.

Just looked on the machine at work to see how much space is taken by the OS
and Applications I need on it and the disk isnt big enough :-(

Mobo wont support anything bigger than 8.4G.

Time for a new machine.

> But is a P200+ (Cyrix) man enough to run Win2KPro ?

Absolutely!  I ran it on P233 MMX with 128meg for over a year and it was
great.
