A newbie question:=20
I don't know much really about the differences of the two processors =
except that (I think) Pentiums has a multimedia extension and Celerons =
has NOT. So, is there a significant gain (if any) in performance if you =
use Pentiums than Celerons on FreeBSD that is running as say a =
cache/proxy server? If not, is it right to think that the extra money we =
shell out for a Pentium is not really worth if we're not gonna be using =
it on a graphical environment with media players, et al?=20

Thanks.
