webmaster, Chris Gebhardt) for your replies:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana>Lew, you said: 'I'm actually
running a P2-400 with 64MB RAM, and it happens to be incredibly
stable.'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana>So how come your install works with
only 64MB of RAM !<BR>but my install wouldn't with a 'massive 256MB'
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana>BTW: As I said in my original post,
I can't increase this PC's Ram, because: 256MB Dim is its maximum !</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana>a: Supports x86 Systems (32-bit
Pentium, AMD, Via) (and note says: non-PAE capable CPUs not
supported)<BR> Q: So how do I find out if my particular P3 (or any other)
is 'PAE capable' ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana>b: Supports x86_64 systems
(AMD64/EM64T) <BR> Q: So it doesn't support a Pentium 64 bit ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana> Q: And what about duel-core
Pentiums ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana>* Minimum disk space:

with my 'massive 256MB' ?</FONT></DIV>
