I can´t believe the guy wants you to build that up...it´s not worth the time or hassle.

<BR>I have a 75Mhz sitting in my study collecting dust...

Likewise.
<BR>
<BR>I have a DX4-100MHz sitting around that my little brother uses. What exactly does this dude want you to do? Build a system around a 66MHz chip? Insanity.
I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.

Our server at work runs at 533MHZ with the workstations runnig between 33 MHZ and 40 MHZ !!! (black & white).
<BR>
<BR>Al I get when I moan about it is that there is no money. That for a organization that is country wide.
<BR>
<BR>I also have a 200MHZ at home that I muck about on (networking, Linux etc) <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_lol.gif">
