  I wondered. The client in mind wants a 'clone' server with 200mhz Pentium 
and duplexed scsi 4gig drives. (Why he wants a 200mhz cpu and 5400 rpm drives 
is beyond me.) Two 32meg EDO simms are cheap and leave two memory slots open.
  I suspect the speed, memory, and drive space amount to 'bragging rights'.
