That is /absolutely/ what I'm after. Low CPU speed is quite fine, the
main goal is that it be quiet and low power. I'd love if you could find
out what it was.

I'm using a P133 now, and looking to replace it because it draws too
much power and is a little noisy. It also has only two PCI slots, so
it's kind of holding up my wireless network plans. Please note that
"noisy" is relative - it's quiet for a computer, but still annoying.
