Don't expect miracles but I think you might be quite surprised.
Obviously it'll swap like a bugger but it'll be a fair bit more
responsive than 2K.

Can someone explain to me how I used to connect to Demon and Fidonet,
pick up and relay mail, wordprocess, burn CD's, and do pretty much
exactly the same stuff as I'm doing right now in around 1/2000 of the
