RE: Sort of OT but sort of not....

Ok, now I see that Dick's answer was correct.

We had Netware3 running on a 66mhz? 486EISA box for years, it worked ok. It was replaced by a 200 mhz p1 HP Netserver E 45 around 1997 or 1998, and that is pretty fast for a "workgroup" setting.

Presumably your main concern besides performance will be reliability.

Anyway, if it turns out your 233 box is reliable enough, but slow as a shared file server, that's ok, just tell the users to complain so management buys you something better. :) If that doesn't work, think about cpu upgrade, adding RAM, faster ethernet card, etc.

regards,
