I recently upgraded an old Pentium 200, to run a dual boot
Redhat/Win98/Win2k machine.

I found a second hand super socket 7 motherboard ($25.00) - dropped in the
P200 (can still go to PIII-350 Mhz) - dropped in 2 x 128 Mb 168 pin SDRAM
(can still go to 768 Mb) - 1 x 10 Gb HDD (5gb for Linux and 5Gb for Windows.

This machine is a gateway for a peer to peer network, and performs very well
in any O/S.
