Does anyone have any feel for performance vs. value in high end PC's like these? In Australia it is possible to purchase two P5100's for the cost of a P133... would this provide a much better deal? What about 4 chip machines? How does the system scale over multiple processors? Also would say a dual pentium machine be of higher performance than a P6?
