Well we're of like mind, the only damn reason I stick with P3's
(and it's maybe hype too) is the flight simulators I like the best
are advertised as optimized for the kni instructions. An I do get
same or better fps than those fools that bought the p3-700e's from
Dell.
'sides it's only money, and i can wring a p3-600 out'a Intel for
the price of a 450. They want too much money to let them o/c it
for me ;-0
seriously tho, I reckon the best SMP solutions right now are
either a pair of C366's clocked to 550 (the bus speeds get right,
any other Celery is the wrong choice to o/c), or let Intel clock
'em and buy 500's.
'course the way I'd go you get 1100+ bogo's, for less $$'s :)
BUT, gettin real serious, I suspect the reason a lot of SMP
system's get built is so it can be said, "I've got a 1100mhz wicked
killer fast computer" fine print is 'in very few applications
and not in Windows'
Whereas, the only viable reason .... well I don' wanna think
about that too hard.... I'd havt'a get a job ;-)
