<div>Mine is a 1.6Ghz Celeron. My only concern would be that you're doing most of your work in software (software RAID, software iSCSI), that being said, I don't experience *any* problems with the system I have and in doing test copies from local SATA to both local SATA and iSCSI, I found the iSCSI to be almost identical in speed on a 100MB network. It was quite impressive. </div>
