Hi Mike,
You are welcome and thanks for your support.

1) If I let the mobo detect the drives, they come up as UDMA(100). However if I turn them off in BIOS and let nasLite detect them, then only are reported as UDMA(33).
NASLite is not capable of configuring the board components without the aide of the BIOS, so what you are describing is absolutely normal. What NASLite can do is handle disk geometries that the BIOS is uncapable of addressing. The only reason one would want to set IDE disks to NONE is if the BIOS causing problems or hanging on boot due to drive type or size.

2) The system only seems to recognize 1GB of memory. I tried with two at first and the second gig was not found. So far it reports 905212 total, 898460 used and 35384 buffers.
NASLite uses a Linux kernel capable of handling 1G max in RAM. It is very uncommon for one to use that ammount of RAM since the gains are minimal if any.

3) Throuput seems pretty good. With a gigabit card installed XP shows 30-35% network utilization to the server.
Speeds can be great, especially with a well tuned network. We've been running tests with x-over cable on Gbit with top-line results. That's how we tune our test boxes anyway
NASLite-2 is getting close...
