OK, lots of people have had a say.
Ask yourself, "Why do I want to upgrade?"
If your answer is "to build a fire-breathing behemoth", then go for the
best you can get.
If your answer is "to eliminate some perceived slowness", then get
something better than you have.
Since you say you have a PII
reason for p3 cooling is they are not in a casket
otherwise they run hotter.
remove your p2 from its casket it runs even
cooler.

Can the new PPGA Celerons do SMP??? I thought that they needed some special
adaptor or something like that.

Thing that a fellow in our LUG did which I thought was a great buy was...
get a duel socket 7 board thats out there now for about $125
BUy two celeron 333 at about $90 each..
$128meg at about $150 and you have a $500 KICK ASS MACHINE
the new 2.2 kernel has dual processor support .. and his (
I would get the PIII 450. You can actually get the cpu for around $250. The
temperatures in the PIII is much better then the PII's . Thats my .02

Right now, Linu
In my opinion you should stick with the PII, The PIII doesn't worth the extra
money.

There is one advantage to buying an Intel chip that I've found. All
the dual processor boards (except one I'm told (by The Computer
Underground Pres)) only support Intel chips. So I'm stuck buying an
Intel chip when I start building my new machine.

I'd go with the AMD K6-3. even the K6-2's are a good bet. Just add RAM and sit
back and enjoy. 8-)

Bottom line:
INtel made the P-III to sell new computer chips so manufacturers could
sell new computers. Their marketing department is extremely smart.
Fact is, they're working on a new 64-bit processor called the Merced
which they will NEED to keep up with that fire-breathing Athlon, a process
