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.)
