I stil have some hope ;) Don't worry too much about the figures: this CPU is great for a client or a home server. I'm running on a Via Epia with a 1GHz C3 and am perfectly happy. Network speed reaches 8MB/s (100Mbps Ethernet) on a single, LAN FTP transfer, which is twice as much as what our Windows laptop (Sempron-based) offers. I don't recommend it to recompile OpenOffice everyday, though ;-) I'll rerun the ubench when the load comes down - I'm not sure running KDE with 8 busy workspaces gives anything meaningful ... It really comes down to what you expect from the box. Cheers -- Olivier Gautherot Email: olivier@gautherot.net LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/ogautherot MSN: ogautherot@hotmail.com
