I had guessed that you were talking about a laptop; the server comment
was only for completeness.
Although I have since replaced it with a Thinkpad T500, I used to run a
Thinkpad T42 (which is a 32 bit system at around the same clock speed,
with the same amount of memory) using full disk encryption under CentOS 5.6.
As a general workstation it was just fine. Using it as a development
system running eclipse, tomcat, db2, plus the usual desktop programs
was, toward the end, causing it to start to chug, but I don't think that
that was primarily due to encryption; I think available memory and processor
speed for non-encryption tasks were the limiting factors. It also used
a PATA disk, not SATA.
