Actually, if you're using a Pentium 4, Intel Atom is also an upgrade. I recently went from Pentium 4 HT 540 (Prescott, 3.2GHz) to Atom 330 (1.6GHz, dual core, HT, D945GCLF2 motherboard) on my home media server and noticed a performance increase (of about 20% with the things I cared to measure, but never the less - an increase) while the power usage dropped to 20% of what it used to be.

One of the first things that got blocked was gimp.org, which is on the same machine as irc.gimp.org, which in turn apparently is used by botnet controlers. Or used to be used. Net effect - gimp.org is unreachable, botnet traffic volume did not drop (the worms just switched to SSL encrypted communication instead of IRC).
