Alright, I foudn the problem. The bios was setup horribly unomptimally
(cache was disabled, IDE was non-DMA, etc...). I fixed that and it's
MUCH better. I'm going to go ahead and put Linux on it.

As per the HP, I don't see it back there.. what type of system was it?
Maybe we can steal some of its ram and put it in the one in front. Right 
now, the one in front a 180Mhz Pentium with 256K cache and 32 megs of ram 
(4 sticks of 8). A little more ram and it should be lightning quick.
