The processor correspond with a Celeron ~800 Mhz I think. This is enough for the little filesever. E. g. at home I run for my own an old Pentium III with 500 Mhz as fileserver, firewall, httpd and squid proxy without problems. So a newer Via C7 should have more performace as my server. I think it´s still a good idea to buy a Via. Kamill
