If you're looking for Linux performance improvements in a U10, your processor is already pretty good. Getting the box up to 512M or 1G memory, or replacing the IDE hard drive with an ultra/wide SCSI one (along with a bootable PCI SCSI controller), could improve speed also, depending on where your bottlenecks are. The internal IDE controller is not very fast, and if you're using a lot of swap due to not having much memory you're paying a double penalty. If your applications would benefit mainly from dual CPUs, and if you don't need PCI, a 2x296 MHz Ultra 2 might be acquirable at a low price. I got one for US$69 once with 256M RAM, Creator graphics card, and CD. -- SP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
