[brlug-newbies] HP Pavilion Tower

[Gary Stibbins]

Got a 256 Mb ram strip ordered and inroute already.As  slow as it is I
figured that I replace the 64 Mb strip with the 256,so that will give me 384
Mb.With the 500 Mhz clock speed and with the ram going to be 384 when it
gets here I realized that my options were limited.
