I have noticed that in certain computationally-heavy situations that the smaller Celeron cache hurts (cracking a password with John The Ripper, for instance), even though it runs at a higher clock rate. Last time I looked, the price difference was enough that the Celeron gives you more bang for the buck. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
