That CTA bus page currently seems to be pretty nominal in CPU and memory use in WinXP.
If you take into account the electricity usage, something like the Intel Atom based MSI Wind (kind of a Dell mini 9 in a case) would use a fraction of the power, saving 80-100 Watts. It is a little more likely to not be powerful enough at some point in the future, but right now it is much easier to get enough RAM for.
