1. I'm the "in family" computer tech for my father-in-law's business.
They are needing to upgrade the RAM in a Dell PowerEdge 400SC.  For
that I'm looking for a matched pair of DDR400 PC3200 128MB DIMMs.  The
system already has a pair of 128s in two slots, and I'm looking to
fill the remaining slots cheaply and bring it up to 512MB RAM.
Running XP SP2 and a virus scanner causes so much VM swapping that
they can't get any work done when it runs, even on it's HT P4.

2. For myself I'm in need of a Socket 478 motherboard, as I'm in the
process of building up my first P4 level Linux workstation.  I've got
two chips that need homes, a 1.8GHz Celeron and a 2.8GHz HT P4.  I'd
prefer to get the P4 in a system, but it seems that 800FSB boards are
not as common as 533FSBs.  If someone has something cheap I'd take it
if it only works with the Celeron, but if someone has an 800FSB
capable board for cheap I'd be rather happy.
