The mobo's almost a decade old and maxed out at 1GB. Actually, the CPU
could handle twice that, but without an appropriate mobo, it doesn't
matter. Right now, alas, I can't afford to upgrade, but I might be able
to in a few more months. When I do, I'm going all the way to an x64
system (Homebrew. Not because I'm good at hardware but because a good
friend of mine is.) and this box will become a server for me to
experiment on. Among other things, I think I can make it work as an
outgoing SMTP server for my domain, using my hosting company as a
smarthost, while keeping the MX records unchanged so that incoming mail
still winds up on their POP server. (That way I don't have to worry
about Port 25 being open.)
