My question. Say in Freebsd 3.0.. from a processor side.. Would I get more performance out of using two 333 or 350 Mhz dual processors on a dual processor motherboard or just jump to the 450 Mhz Intel processor. I believe, at least from my old job, when processor utilization time is at a peek, the dual would perform better, (More MIPS or task) than the faster single processor. Please share you thoughts with me. I am prepairing to build a monster mail machine.. with freebsd 3.0. thanks Morris Allen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
