You don't really need a P133 for this.

Maybe not enough if you have a big enough feed.
I'd suggest bying 2x 2.2 GB disk or 4x 1 GB disks and spread the spool &
news dir & overview data over all the disks (maybe with ccd). Get rid of
the IDE disk. Go all SCSI. IDE is evil.

Take unoff4 and innfeed (see into news.software.nntp for details).

Better take a P90 with 64 MB than a P133 with 48... Memory is more
important than CPU power.
