Lance, skip IDE and go to SCSI for your HD. With the slow processor you
have your IDE devices are going to hit your processor pretty hard,
slowing everything down. You'll be much better off with something as
slow and cheap as Fast SCSI II.

Agree with Fast SCSI

If you can afford it include
maxed out RAM
100BT net
and Wide SCSI

My works Linux server is
RH5.2 install
Dual P233MMX TYAN 1564D with 512 RAM
Mylex 958 SCSI Wide with 4 - 9G WS HD

besides a bogomip rating of 980, the graphic designer nuts love the
transfer rate.
