Nick,
I have LM 8.0 running on a P-4 1/3 GHz with no problems, except one. When I
did the initial installation of the CD, the installer incorrectly identified
my system as being SMP enabled.
After the install, I booted into a Non-SMP kernel and edited lilo.conf to
allow me to boot linux as a non-smp enabled kernel and all was quite well,
(except Aurora which has always given me trouble, but that's another issue).
After that, things are working much better than they did on a P-III 500 with
512 MB of RAM and 10 GB less HDD space.
All in All, though, I would say wait until the P-III Tualatin comes to
market. If the benchmarks are right, this processor is faster than a P-4
when set correctly. Check out some of the info online about it.
