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.
