Compared to what?

If you are looking for a more stable configuration then I would go with an Intel based processor, with 1 to 2Gb of memory.... more will not improve anything but will make the system ready for upgrades in the future, at least a 40Gb HDD I would recommend 160Gb because that is the price point at this time where the price per Gb is the , Realtek NIC work well along with Intel (except dual NIC cards they have a few issues) and i would go for the fastest processor for the money.

I like the following motherboard config because it utilizes the atom processor and it's low power requirements (green is cool). The board comes fully loaded with serial ports dual on board NICs, USB, PS2, and an extra PCI for expanding the system. Get that board in a nice slim case with a optical drive, hard drive, and a  gigs of memory and your on your way to a nice system.

I also have a config running on a  end dell workstation that is working great.

For a more business professional piece of hardware I would think cybertron servers work well with there dual gig NICS, stable config. I haven't tried any dell or HP servers so I can't vouch for any of them.

Hope some of that info helps.
