When I first tested SME7 it was on an IBM Xseries server with a 1GB PIII processor, 128MB ECC ram and 18.2GB scsi drive.  

... Actually it was just a copy - paste of something I Googgled at this forum. Some missprint I guess.

The only thing I noticed was that "someone" had tried SME 7.0 on AMD Semperon 2600, ant that it was "flying".

I think that there is a lot of good choices, and that most of them will perform bether than C3.

"Duron processors at 1Ghz"

I have used a Duron 1000 and a Duron 1200.

Both runned rather cold, 30-34 deg celcius with fan.

Performes bether than C3. And it is 686.

Worked quite OK, but It was SME 6.0.1 I used. Don't know if the SME 7.0 will require more power ..

The Duron Processor performs quite well, and it runs quite cold, but still I believe it needs a fan. .. But I belive that the Semperon will work even bether (but this I have not tried myself, until now ..)
