Dual PIII or P4? Help?

anonymous 19 May 2003

Hey, any advice on this one.

Got a dual P3 MSI board, with one P3 866.
The HD (WD 20g+40g-7200rpm), ram (512), are up to snuff, but I need a faster CPU. Should I scrap the whole P3 deal and get a P4/Athlon XP, or buy another P3 866 to throw in there. (maybe even a matched pair of 1 ghz).

A link to a website discussing this topic or just some good 'ol advice would be sweet. :p

Yeah, the $600 price tag on that rig is a little out of reach right now... I know it's worth it, but... 'preciate the advice though.

I've seen them for just under $400!!!!

Think about it, if you were to buy two AMD CPU's....close to $400.00 as well!

Pricewatch has some listings for $350.00....
