HP ProLiant MicroServer Benchmarks

OK, as with my last server I used the nbench CPU benchmark which is pretty long in the tooth now, but as a comparison I ran it again:

BYTEmark* Native Mode Benchmark ver. 2 (10/95)

I also re-ran the test on my other server:

As you can see, its about a third slower but it uses about 3 5ths the power of my last server, and is almost silent.
