want upgrade opinion, 1-2 PPro 200/256
I have a single PPro 200MHz/256k in my system currently (running 2.0.29 kernel from a bo install about two months ago, no problems). Should I pick up the spare to fill that empty socket on my Tyan motherboard, or is the 256k cache small enough to kill off the performance advantage? I'd rather not part with the $2000 or so it would take to make a pair of 512's, so I could either get the second 256 or keep the one. Any experienced opinions out there? Inexperienced? Guesses? Thanks.

A second CPU with fan should cost you about $950 CDN. Where you are, you shouldn't have to pay more that $500 US. When your using your system, if you can sustain a 100% CPU utililization, with 1 CPU, get a second one. If not, don't worry about it.
