B,THis has not been my experience at all.
I am running an epia 1ghz with windows XP pro dedicated to music only, it is not even hooked up to the web.
It works great. THe only problems I have had in terms of it being underpowered have to do with using the Secret Rabbit upsampler in Foobar (other upsamplers work fine) and crossover slopes beyond 24 db.
But all other normal audio only functions work fine. Maybe it is the fact that I am not sending signal out to a dac, but using a Lynx 2b card, but I have had no problems whatsoever. And I haven't really stopped all the processes I can, so there is room for improvement.
FInally, in my case it was more important to have it be fanless as any reduction in performance (if indeed that happens at all) would be more than offset by the noise created by a fan.
