Atom benchmarks Vs Pentium 3?

Atom benchmarks Vs Pentium 3?

Out of interest, how do the Atom processors compare with Pentium 3 processors in benchmark
tests? 

I'm thinking of switching out my ancient home webserver and fileserver for an Eee Box and a
500GB NAS, partially to improve performance, but mainly to save power usage - a Pentium 3 PC
plus 4 IDE disks can't be that optimal when it comes to electricity consumption!

Do you now how to integrate the NAS 500 into Linpus via a network. The "explorer" within the
spire linpus does not support this linking to the LAN?!
