That is quite low end as HP servers go.

Probably is IRQ. We have attempted to use them in the past and failed.

Probably is IRQ. We have attempted to use them in the past and failed.

I think you don't understand what the IRQ problem is. It does not  
relate to the penTium processor, or the general spec of the machine.  
The amount of memory/processor wont change this. Its a pretty  
intrinsic feature of the motherboard. Some allow you to change this,  
others you have to change slots. Others you have to disable onboard  
hardware and hope for the best. On a 110 we couldn't get much use out  
of it. Only one (two?) PCI slots and both shared IRQs with stuff.
