If you want to run Java applications, I would suggest that you invest more on the CPU and RAM. More than the clock speed of the CPU , it is important to ensure that it has a large L2 cache (> 256K). Ensure at least 512M of RAM.
As Arup has suggested, use a lightwt window manager. Also, look at which distro you are going to use. Breaking news (for me) is that Fedora FC2 is having some JVM related issues. Not much details right now. Looking into it. -- Best, Shourya -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of S.

Anybody can help me about its performance? Is it a good buy in terms of money and performance?
