I now have a 1200 as a satellite which is booted only when CSWB is 
needed.  One reason for the upgrade is to have a CSWB-capable machine 
available.  The XP1000 uses little enough electricity to stay in the 
cluster.  The performance of the 1200 with CSWB is OK and it has only 
512 MB and 21164A, so 2 GB and 21264 should be an improvement (and 
doesn't have to be booted when needed).  CSWB on the 3000/600 is 
possible, but VERY slow.

More is always nice, but for what I do it has usually been enough.

I normally don't see paging or swapping and MONITOR shows a bit of free 
memory, so it is just OK.
