Subject: running GAMESS on a Pentium166MMX

This may be a redundant question but I have a Gateway 166MMX with 16Mb RAM
and a 2.1Gb harddrive.  Is this system adequate to do ab initio
calculations on molecules with 22 carbons and 17 hydrogens ?
If not what upgrades would you suggest ?
I have determined that the memory can go to 128 with two 64Mb DIMMs.
The processor can be moved up to a 200Mhz only.
In addition does anyone have experience with the Evergreen 200Mhz chip (has
64k on board rather than the Intel 32k)
Finally is the current harddrive adequate or should it be replaced with a
SCSI unit ?

Your replys will be greatly appreciated.
