I have an AMD athlon XP 1800 with 1G DDR333 ram that I installed 66 days
ago on a server and it has not crashed or had any problems. It gets about
19000 pystone/second and pystone translate directly to zope performance in
my experience. It is running on a Biostar M7VIF board which it a VIA KT333
chipset and it has worked very well. I have seen other KT333 boards that
where not stable but I really like the Biostar boards I have two of these
boards and they have been working great.

I don't know about MP systems I have not tested that yet. I also don't
know how the memory speed affects performance but this system is far
faster then the previous system.

I can't comment on CMF or Plone becuase I don't use them I have a python
product I wrote that we use and it works quite nicely on this system.
