[WinMac] cheap and fast NT server

Here's one for y'all....
We have a sfw RIP for color proofers that runs under NT.
To make our product more cost-friendly (cheaper) we have been
experimenting with dual-Celeron machines.
The results so far....
Using an ASUS dual CPU PSB-D m/b and 2 x 500 MHz Celeron, we have been
able to over-clock the CPU's to 562 MHz with stability. 256 MB RAM,
dual hard drives (one to read the PS file, one to raster it) and we're
using BusMaster drivers for the HD's to allow synchronous i/o to the
drives.
We are trying to market this solution to our clients as "buy our RIP and
get an NT server for free!" Kinda'' catchy, eh? (Canadian accent here)
Does anyone have any experiences in creating fast and cheap (I hope they
are not mutually exclusive) NT servers using dual Celeron's and then
over-clocking them?
Our RIP sfw. is very RAM and CPU intensive. Does anyone have
suggestions to make the server faster? Any replies would be
appreciated.
Thanx,
