I own the 233Mhz with 56MB RAM (everything else stock) and it's prolly
equivalent to a P100. Before the RAM upgrade, it was deathly slow. I also
think that the drive in the UDB is deathly slow, so I chose to run most apps
(like X) over NFS rather than off the drive, which also improved things a bit.
