www.linux.org.il is running on an overclocked Cyrix for over 2 years now
and does fine, I have it running on MMX laptops in my company, K6 at home,
two old regular pentiums (one heavyweight file server and one masqing
firewall/squid/mail gateway), a website running on a 486, and several
compilation machines with Ppro, Dual Ppro or P2.

I can't tell you what's best though :-) it all depends on the tasks you
want to feed it.
