[NTLUG:Discuss] Dual PII 450 and one PIII 500 performance comparsion

[Burton Strauss]

Depends on what you are doing ... 

Video & HD will drive a lot of performance stuff and those will be about the
same.

CPU ... There's not a ton of meaningful diff between P2 and P3, so CPU speed
- while 2 CPUs won't give you 2x the MHz, there is some improvement, esp for
Linux workloads (servers).

Memory speed is also important - big diffs w/ PC66 vs PC133

All:


Just wonder which one overall performance.

another one have one PIII 500 with 640M RAM the rest of peripherals are the
same (same HD, same video card...) which one have better performance?

Thanks.
