(A great chipset, though!) I just updated an i440BX based dual-celeron-466 from some old 4.8-stable to 7.1-prerelease. "make buildworld" takes about eight hours (without -j), but I don't care, I just let it run over night. The machine is perfectly capable and fast enough to act as a name server, small mail and web server for a dozen people, and as a generic shell box for various tasks. There's also an old notebook (2001) with i440BX and a Pentium-III 850 MHz, which I use occasionally on trips. It's completely sufficient to get online, read e-mails, chat, browse the web, upload digital photos and so on. I hate throwing away hardware that's still working and up to the task. :-) Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
