Heh, amusingly, we use these a lot at work because their tiny power drain 
makes them nice and cheap to run. They make pretty decent servers - not 
exactly quad-core opterons, but they do the job, and it means our customers 
get cheap dedicated hosts :D.

The dual-core (Atom 330) version is better at doing media stuff than the 
single-core version was, but if 'twere me, I probably wouldn't use it for 
anything particularly heavy-duty in that respect. 

I'm rather eagerly awaiting AMD's answer to the Atom - sensible northbridge, 
AMD goodness. What could possibly go wrong? :p
