I had built "back in the day" this same guy a p2 /500 (bx440 chipset) with scsi drives and an 3 gig ide boot drive (WINnt4), and he was happy for a long time, but I guess he got some cash some where, and now wants to spend some of it, so I was more than happy to offer to build his next box too. so he wants a box that we put in the corner and use for the next 5 years, like the last one. since I hope to be able to convert his uses to linux, and I am so damn happy myself with the way Mandrake handles my dual P3 1000s (especially compared to win2k on the same box, M$ just does not handle SMP like linux and the advantges just are not the same IMHO) I wonder if dual p4s are worth anything, especially considering "multithreading" CPUs.
