Forgive me asking, but wouldn't it be easier to just get a big mutha Dual Xeon with 2 gigs ram and a scsi drive? That should still do fine at 600-700. I'm peaking close to 500 and running a 1 gig system (dual xeon of course).
Also, if threaded/expanded mode isn't that important to your users then cutting this out will surely solve all your problems.
