Assuming everything else is the same (ethernet, hard drives, memory, etc.) which would I expect to get better performance from? Is it a big difference? Does FreeBSD take advatage of the Pentium Pro's wider bus? We would be using the machine as a web server, running Apache for http and https, mySQL, quite a few CGIs (shopping carts), etc. We would be running FreeBSD 2.2.8. Any ideas would be appreciated.
