486 DX 33Mhz
I don't know if you can still find them, but the Evergreen upgrade kits
worked pretty well on my old 486's
(http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2640). It brought the processor up
to 133 MHz. Not too shabby for an old PC that would be collecting dust
in most peoples houses. I now use it only as a firewall/router for my
home network; but I'll take whatever speed increases I can get since I
commonly compile updates directly on that system. I needed iptables, so
I'm running a 2.4.2? kernel. The only time this system goes down is
when the power goes out (no UPS yet). I think the longest I've made it
is about two months. I'm quite certain I could have uptimes as high as
a year or more if I had a battery.
Talk to you later,
