yeah, I ran a 486/66 for 2 years. Lots of IMGate are P200 or less. Run whatever you want, but IMGate doesn't NEED more than a P200 for 75% of the people's volumes on this list. You can get 1 GHz new boxes with ATA133 disks that go tits up in 6 months. Mass market electronics is a crap shoot. After it's burned in for a year or two, probably ok for 5 more years.
