The problem with Celeron processors is that you are limited to a 66Mhz bus (that's if you do not overclock the processors) and only have 128KB of full speed L2 cache. The P3-667 probably runs on a 133Mhz bus with 256KB of full speed L2 cache. One option you may want to look at is to get a dual-processor capable motherboard and get one P3-667 processor. This will allow you to upgrade to dual processors if you need the extra power. If you are just using your machine for basic workstation needs, dual processors can be overkill. But if you are planning to run RC5 and/or do a lot of processor intensive operations, dual processors might work out to be a it better. Mind you that FreeBSD's SMP performance isn't quite up to par when compared to Windows 2000 or Solaris, but it does offer some performance increases. // Linh Pham // // Proud supporter of FreeBSD and OpenBSD // FreeBSD - http://www.freebsd.org // OpenBSD - http://www.openbsd.org /*=09"Oregon, n.: =09=09Eighty billion gallons of water =09=09with no place to go on =09=09Saturday night." */ On Tue, 11 Jul 2000, Q Tuyen wrote: >=20 > Im want to build a new box but not sure if I should do a single P3 667 or > dual 500 celeron chips.
