It brought the processor up to 133 MHz. Not too shabby for an old PC that would be collecting dust in most peoples houses. I now use it only as a firewall/router for my home network; but I'll take whatever speed increases I can get since I commonly compile updates directly on that system. I needed iptables, so I'm running a 2.4.2? kernel. The only time this system goes down is when the power goes out (no UPS yet). I think the longest I've made it is about two months. I'm quite certain I could have uptimes as high as a year or more if I had a battery. Talk to you later, -- Sean E.
