Not OT to me. Linux and old boxes are a big part of the game, eh?

The economics of old boxes, IMO, states that it is often cost prohibitive to
add memory to an old box. New sticks of 256MB are much cheaper than new 32MB
sticks of old RAM. It might be less costly for you to get another used PC
with more memory. (as posted earlier on this list: www.secondwindpcs.com).
You might be able to buy used memory or stock close-outs. Not having the
spec is a problem. See if you can get a Google on any of the char strings
found on the memory stick in the system.
