I have a msi 6309 and a celeron 2 533@800 now on this machine, I don't use this box as much any more now that I have a amd setup. I've been toying with the idea of setting up win2k server and playing with it on the home network.
Someone is interested in trading my setup for a abit bp6 with 2x 400s@550, I'm sure it would be a hair slower in day to day opperations than just the one 800 but would it be a decent swap to get into dual processors?
Any suggestions?
thanks,
Daniel

i find that the dual 366@550 is faster than just 1 cel 2 at 800

thats just from my experiences, i'm sure others will claim that one 800mhz is faster blah blah blah

my next upgrade will be dual ghz+ athlons :)

Sounds cool biohazard, then I would need a board and everything though, the only reason I was considering it really was cause it wouldn't cost anything extra and I'm trying to pay things off instead of find new debt.
thanks though,
Daniel
