My mileage computation came out essentially the same as what Doug says. I use some cast-off machines that were not reliable enough for other applications. They originally cost us about 2/3 what our normal production boxes cots and achieve almost exactly 1/2 as much. Our production boxes are typically dual CPU's with dual cores.
