My computers are Pentium 120s with as little as 96MB RAM. I used to use 
Redhat 5 and later Redhat 6. The computers are now running Debian, so a 
change of distribution might be a way forward for you, if you want to update
your software.

From reading Roy Harper, it seems that he reckons 44.1kHz sampling and
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.2.1-gr1 (2007-05-02) on
        anne.archivum.info
X-Spam-Level: ****

24 bits resolution lets him do mastering with digital kit to the same
quality that he can manage with studio quality analogue tape.  16 bits
is not good enough for mastering in his opinion.

On the other hand, we can be pretty damned sure that *HE* can't hear at
20kHz any more.
