You'll find the atom performance is good. I have an atom 330 with 2 gigs of RAM and dual on board NICs with another PCI NIC and it runs great. I also have openvpn in bridge mode and squid running and no hiccups ar all.

It beats the Mac. Mac G5 dual core 2GHz 3MB/s Intel core2duo 3GHz OpenBSD i386 3.44MB/s I have found on the Geode 300MHz, cleaning up the pf.conf, removing modulate state, and no-df from scrub improves the throughput to: 1.8MB/s. I ordered an Atom with 3 Intel NICs, just arrived! Looking forward to testing it out. The test I am doing is ftp -o /dev/null http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/OpenBSD/5.1/src.tar.gz Internode is my ISP.
