Hi,

So, it's time to upgrade to a new machine (I'm still using an old P2-266),
and I'm trying to decide between a Pentium-3 & a Pentium-4. This machine
will run FreeBSD only, and will serve as a workstation/router/low-traffic
webserver/samba fileserver. I don't need a 2gig processor or
anything...(my p2-266 is idle most of the time anyway).

I'm just wondering if the Pentium 4 would be a good choice or should I buy
a Pentium3?

All input is *greatly* appreciated.

Thanks!
