I have a little VIA machine (an old U-Buddie) and it is quite miserly on 
power, but the teeny-tiny cache really limits performance. It made a 
good mail server, which obviously had to be on 24/7, but I finally had 
to go with a dual CPU box due to the load from virus and spam scanning.

As I said, I'd be happy to drag mine to a meeting, or perhaps Terrasoft 
would be interested in putting on a demo?
