You would think the biggest bottle-neck would be your ram at 160Mhz?
(166 for DDR single-channel). You would run great using XP or Win2K.

160MHz would make it DDR2-667Mhz or PC-5300 memory. *With 64 bit
memory transfers (normal for a 64 bit OS and an AMD X2 processor), the
transfer rate is:

Methinks that's fast enough for most applications.

I am NO expert, but it appears you are just plugging numbers where you
want. He has DDR single-channel. Clock speed multipliers raise by
increments of 33...so how can 160 be considered valid?
