I recommend drives not larger than 80GB, you can use larger but the kernel
patches will cause the thing to not reboot. People are running 120BG with
the 550 OS, but aren't using the kernel patches.
RAM, optimum is 512MB, as that is the size the K6-2 cache tag RAM can
manage. You can goto 1GB if necessary to prevent swapping. Swap will give
yo a greater performance hit than cache misses.
