Any Advice > would be greatly appreciated.. Certain efforts are being made to include PPro specific optimization into gcc . I'm not sure how stable it is now , but in any case buying PPro vs Pentium system has a lots a sense - even with "regular" binaries perfomance is much higher. Pentiums will be obsolete pretty soon IMO. Be sure to avoid buying PPro system with PCI chipset bug - browse arhives at comp.sys.intel or FreeBSD newsgroups and/or mailing lists to get more details. > > Rashid.
