I wanted to know whether it was worth upgrading from 2xP3 850@1Ghz to 2x P3 1.3Ghz or to just start a new rig with a dual athlon mobo and 2x Athlon MPs (or XPs modded to MPs).
I only wanted to know because intel are stopping production of the Pentium 3 soon, and wondered whether it was worth upgrading yet.
But then again it may be some time until Intel kill the P3, because the P4 is hardly a server chip, is it?
This is one of the problems I am facing - to upgrade or build a new rig. I currently have Dual PIII850s@1Ghz, but would like maybe some more speed in the near future.
Do i :-
A. Upgrade to higher speed PIIIs, before they are discontinued
B. Scrap the whole lot and go dual athlons
(C). Win the competition Prize
