I have a AMD 2500+ CPU with 1Gb of ram. It's not the > slowest but not the fastest either. Pair of dual-PIII VA Linux machines, one compute server with twin dual-core opterons.

They are hugely faster than [S]ATA or IDE used on most equipment these days. -- Steven Lembark 85-09 90th St. Workhorse Computing Woodhaven, NY, 11421 lembark@wrkhors.com +1 888 359 3508 -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
