I am running a Supermicro S2DGE Motherboard with 2 Xeon 400MHz with 1 MB
Cache, I spent $350 for this
coard and procs used. I wouldn't give up the 1 MB Cache for anything, it
rocks. It is alot better response wise than my
Duron 700MHz system.

Depends what are you doing with your machine ... I've got several dual PPro
(these should run very cheap these days). Also, ABIT has a dual - Celeron
MB - BP6. Also, a dual P3 might be OK ... If more cache is more important
for your apps than raw MHz, try sticking to P3 = 600. I think P3 - 600B
were the last "regular" P3-s to host 512KB L2 Cache (at 1/2 the speed of
the core).
Unless you want to spend really BIG bucks and get yourself Xeon MB +
processors (don't do it if it's for fun only).

It might still be that clustering single CPU machines would lead to better
performance...

Hallo!
I'm thinking about upgrading my CPU (K6-3-400) and, as i'm using linux
95% of my time i suppose it's better a dual processor architecture,
isn't it??
If so... what MB should you suggest? And what processor/speed ??
Thanks ;)
