I am using my FSB box for development work. The most strenuous activity 
would be the compile/link cycle. This is not quite in the same league 
as a heavily loaded news server. Sorry, but I gained the impression that there

The 1542 is ISA based, which is going to be a potential limitation. 
Sound like a fist full of dollars is the solution.
