This also happens across models. A 1.4ghz P3 is faster than a 2.0Ghz P4 in most cases. > IMO, dual core is the way to go.

Slimserver is also going to take advantage of this, the webserver/perl thread is going to run on one core, and the mysql server can run on the other core. -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30559 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
