Christian, this is really first hand experience I needed to hear. It basically means that it's useless to purchase a lot of expensive M3k instead of more powerful, yet noisy and a lot heavier M4k. Thanks a lot for this! > The Blade 150 is a desktop machine. It's not as quiet as a modern > quiet PC, but it's par for the course for an average PC from fifteen > years ago. (It is also slower than my Soekris net6501-50.) :-) good to know. I guess M3k is several times faster than blade 150. My bet is 5-7x. is that right? Thanks a lot for all your information provided!
