Go the Athlon - the Duron is AMD's version of the Celeron - I.E. it's a
little short on things a server needs, like FPU performance.

The Athlon will kick a similarly clocked PIII in the arse, though. Make
sure you get a _recent_ one, however, which is based on their new core
{can't emember the name offhand - Tom's Hardware will show you, though}.
