Honestly I can't understand why people seem to believe that a single
user desktop system must be a one and a half gigahertz moster to be a
viable solution. Most of the people don't run render farms or
10terabytes datawarehouses, they simply run their web browsers, mail
clients, word processors and spreadsheets. For these purposes a
300-400MHz system is perfectly usable. Yeah, even running windows.
