I replaced our old acer with a amd_x64 powered machine from tesco for 199.
This is the wimpy amd64 processor but can still run openvz so I can install
openvz images and run them for demo's straing from home and work amd64
servers.

Nice cheap bit of kit - but I still like my old Acer's keyboard and trackpad.
