Re: Pentium 4 vs. 3



I don't know much about P4 - I've heard awful things about it, but nothing
concrete, and no personal experience, so I wont mention specifics (and take
that with fistful of salt ;-)
But I have another observation I would like to share with you - why would
you need all that power for a simple home machine ? I don't see why you'd
need more then, let's say, P3-800 ? and even that would be an overkill.
for the role you describe (and a few more, like X login, web and mail
server, MP3 player, etc') I have currently a P2-300 and I have no
complaints.
