If you wanna go in under 20K get a Duron-650 and overclock it to
950MHz. At the same clock speed the Tbird and Duron are within 10% of each
other performance wise. But the Duron-650 is like 3200 only. With the
money you save you can add another 128MB RAM (*most* important for a
server) and still come in at the same price.
Even if you don't overclock, a Duron-650+256Mb RAM is better than a
Tbird-900+128Mb RAM, at least *for a server*
