My server here at home is a dual Celeron 333 that's OC'ed to 550, 512MB of RAM and has been plugging away without incident for 6 years now. I think it's great that through the use of Linux, one is able to get new machine performance from less than new machines. I always tempted by the shiney upgrade but I can't justify the cost when the machine I have more than meets my needs for performance. Welcome to the community!
