I am no expert on this sort of thing, but I thought I should add one thing, in case you havent thought of it... What is the load on your cpu? It can be found by doing a top.. if it never reaches 1.0 while running php apps, then an extra cpu is not going to make much difference. In general I have found that the bottleneck in older computers tends to be the hard drive, not the CPU. Regards, Jacob ________________________________ JacobRhoden -- http://rhoden.id.au/
