For better performance add memory...

way back in November I built up a second old imac as a linux machine. To be honest with only 128Mb RAM performance was only good enough for proof of principle, but not for anything real.

So I went hunting and bought another 128MB PC100 RAM second hand off ebay for $8.50 from someone in Queensland. Stuck it in and Whoo, what a performance difference.

So that's another usable linux machine for home an pleasure for under $20 - pretty good for an addition to the economy computing stable. Strange that the most expensive thing out of the lot of them was the sun lcd monitor ...
