The performance will suck, of course, compared to the latest CPUs, but that's not the point. The point is that these CPUs are dirt cheap. Another good point I just read about is that they produce much less heat, even compared to a similar powered CPU: http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/02q2/020605/c3-03.html The fastest machine I have at home is a Pentium 133. Actually, its a PowerPC 603, but you know what I mean. Both are running Linux BTW. <$200 for a puter is not a bad deal to me, provided the compatibility is there.
