Well, it turns out that ordering a computer from Walmart was a mistake. They sent me the wrong computer. I don't understand why. The item listed in my online order was clearly different than the item printed on the packing list attached to the shipping box. Perhaps they have a literacy problem in their warehouse. At least the return was easy; I just took the box to my local Walmart and they accepted it and then put the correct credit on my credit card. Then, I went to Frys. I showed the spec of the Walmart machine that I wanted. They easily beat Walmart with an 'open-box' special which is a customer returned computer still under warranty.

Without actual benchmarks, it's just speculation. And it's still only really interesting if it still holds significantly for 6.X rather than 5.X. Even then, I am inclined to the opinion that CPUs get faster so quickly that even a 20% difference will evaporate in months, and since 5/6.X support newer hardware, I couldn't actually care less if they are a bit less efficient.

[...] Would you gamble $368 that you could get FreeBSD installed on this thing? For a basic server, I probably would. But I would not count on the integrated graphics being useable in X. Especially since the page says Integrated Graphics up to 64 MB, default setting 32 MB, which leads me to think that this integrated graphics thingy uses system memory, which would be taken out of the not-overly-generous 512 MB. It will almost certainly work for your VGA console. I also wouldn't count on the integrated sound or even ethernet. The modem, I can just about guarantee, is a winmodem and thus probably not useable. But in all cases, it's hard to know for sure since they don't say what the hardware is. The keyboard and mouse will probably work fine. The subject line says desktop server. My take is that it would be iffy as a desktop (might work, you never know) but probably fine as a light-duty server, although you may need to add a $10 ethernet card.
