Kitchen PC & Processing power

I have installed a "proof of concept" PC in the kitchen, using a
nice 12" TFT and an old K6-2-500 PC running WinXP.

It is *almost* silent, and SWMBO has given a big thumbs up to having online
banking, weather, internet radio, and kiddy pics screen saver - so all is
great on that front!

I want to upgrade the machine (or buy a new one) The current machine
strains playing mp3s, and don't even ask it do decode video - I want to
know what processor people are using for kiosk type applications - what is
the minimum I could get away with?

I'm thinking either go ITX, with one of the epia boards, or else small form
factor PIII

Any advice welcome :)

Simon
