Ah yes you git!!!  The start of me suddenly acquiring loads of kit ;)

It has 2 slots and takes PC100/133.  Apparently it supports 512MB, but I
couldn't get any generic 256MB PC133 modules to be recognised [only saw
128MB] so was limited to running 256MB [2x 128].

I moved the HDD contents across to a VIA C3/800 in a sexy aluminium case
[courtesy of Linitx] and have 512MB running nicely.  I managed to palm the
Book PC off to my mum to replace her aging low end Celery.
