Re: Pentium 4

Alex,

I highly recommend the AMD K7 chips.  IF your short on cash get an ASUS A7V
or an ABIT KT7A, these boards are very nice.  I am using an ABIT KT7A-RAID
for Windows, but am Using an ASUS A7V here at work with Debian on it.  My
Duron 800 at home kicks the crap out of any P3 on the market and it only has
128K of Cache.  Stay away from Intel go AMD.  I just got done building my
friend a P3 933 since that is the only processor Dell offers, personally I
would have gone with AMD.  There are only a few programs out there that are
optimized for the Intel P3, but everything I have runs better and faster on
an AMD Durn 800.

Thanks,
Dan
