It performs quite nicely even with low memory (32 MB), though the only complaint I have on it is it get's too hot over time (when I was still into computer games for half a day straight, I can really feel the heat radiating out of my box). Now it runs with 320MB RAM and it was onced used as our company server for half a year (before I hauled it out for my own use last semester then replaced it with another PC there). We were just lucky that we didn't need to tinker it too much to make it work fine. Though it never let us down, the biggest downer is that it took us lots of fans and an airconditioning unit set at the max always to prevent it from heating up too much that you'd feel it when you're sitting in front of the server. I'm not from AMD, and I won't make you an AMD convert either... I still feel the heat whenever I leave the PC on for the whole night as it compiles a kernel or gcc; or after 5 straight hours of playing Myth II.
