Beowulf cluster?? Server/client testbed?? Router?? Internet firewall?? The list goes on. My win2k test system server is a P11 233 with 128Mb RAM and it works fine for that purpose. (sorry guys - I occasionally have to admin a win2k network with 40 machines and a radio network base station for the notebooks on it.)
