The 333Myz processor can cache only 3GB of physical memory. Even still, I
dont know that the 2500 kit allows for up to 3GB of Ram. It would be EDO at
best.

Your 2500 has dual PII333's, but it is (I believe) capable of
supporting 4G of memory.

A 1600 can have as high as dual PIII600's...but can only support a
maximum of 1G of memory.

Now, the boost in processor speed can't be denied...but I wonder if
Linux might PREFER to have the extra memory? WHich of the two machines
would DEFINITELY make a better Linux Server? I'm really not sure.

However, it does seem likely that you may have an easier time finding
some PC66 512M sticks, than you would have swapping out guts or buying
a different machine.

But I am often wrong.
