Hi Nick,

 >... do you use 48MB ram, or have you done the 64MB mod?

64MB mod?  I've got 48MB.  What is the 64MB mod?

 >Just wondering as far as usability ...

Usability is fine as long as you don't expect the thing to win any speed 
records:)

GTK2 apps are probably too much, as is freetype.  A WWW browser with 
frames and
Java would be nice but I haven't found one that runs on mipsel yet.

I've got a 2GB microdrive and a 3c574 ethernet in the system I'm currently
testing.  Your 340MB microdrive will probably be too small for any X apps
and stuff.
