Pentium 4 vs. 3



Hello All,

I'm going to install a Linux server (RH 7.2 whenever it comes out,
Roswell until than). I'm buying a new machine for that. I have 2 
CPU's options P3 1GH or P4 1.5GH. I want the group advice on this
decision.

This is a busyness server ONLY, it will have no monitor and so will
not run any X on it, also, no audio functions will run on it.

It will be used primarily for editing (Emacs) and compilation (C, 
Ftn, Cobol) and running in house application that access DB. Most 
of its IO will be on NFS mounts. 

Does anyone have experience with Pentium 4 ?  Is it better than P3 ?
Are there any specific problems with P4 ?

TIA,
Ehud.
