            Try aiming for a 64-bit OS if you could. For the OpenVPN
            part, if you<br>
            could shoot for a Sandy Bridge or later CPU you'd probably
            find the<br>
            AES-NI part of the CPU quite suitable. If you're on a budget
            you can<br>
            always certainly aim for an AMD E-350 or something along the
            lines of<br>
            that. Plenty of CPU power for SOHO boxes.<br>
