AFAIK the Pundit-R is *only* ATI based, the older Pundit is *only* SiS based. I'm quite happily running the Pundit-R on FC2 as a combined BE/FE system. I think either will be quite suitable. You will find the system is quieter if you manage to get hold of the old Northwood P4/Celerons, which have a lower thermal rating and therefore require less cooling. Even with a newer 2.4GHz CeleronD, my system initially was quite loud before I modded it.
