I replaced
this with another aging machine - a PIII running at 500Mhz,
which only uses 100Watts more - but I can certainly get a lot more out
of it. So that old machine certainly cost me more to run than the new
one in terms of performance for electricity used. I certainly don't
need a 2Ghz AMD64 with 4GB of RAM for use as a router. Today. In 5
years from now, my desktop will be very likely be my router.
A P-III is "an aging machine"?
