Hi, I need to spend some cash b4 the end of the first tax quarter, so... What makes the most sense for a quad SMP box today? = --- The Intel SC450NX is available for around $3500, Pentium=AE II Xeon 400MHz MMX w/1024K 1MB cache - OEM PULLS are availabl= e for $200, New boxed PIII Xeon 500MHz w/512K cache go for around $950, What would give overall better performance the extra cache, or the extra MHz? --- New boxed PIII Xeon 733MHz w/512K cache coppermine go for $750, will any coppermine capable quad boards be available anytime in the forseeable future? Do they even make sense for a quad system, eg. the very small cache? -- Steve Passe | powered by = smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
