Simon,

Get more RAM. I presume you will be running Win95. With only 8MB it's a dog, 
much better with 12MB and good with 16MB.

You can pick up 8Mb for around 80 pounds if you shop around.

Save money on the processor if you need to. A P75 or even a DX4/100 with 12MB is 
much better than a P100 with only 8MB. I use Win95 with a DX2/66 and 20MB RAM 
and it runs great.

Otherwise your spec looks fine.
