In fact, quite disappointed i am (but then, I really expected a miracle, I suppose). OTOH, the chip _is_ low power, and should be good enough for any 'home server' type machine (or even an embedded system). Hopefully VIA's newer CPUs are better. But CPU score looks far too low... Could you test it in single-user mode, just to be sure? I stil have some hope ;) Compare to the scores of dual-CPU P133 (>95% idle) heavy metal I use now as a server: Unix Benchmark Utility v.0.3 Copyright (C) July, 1999 PhysTech, Inc.
