Just for some added info, I have Mandrake 8.0 loaded on an FIC 503+, 256 megs ram, AMD k6-2 333MHz, and I also have Mandrake 8.0 loaded on an old, Pentium MMX 166MHz, 96 megs of ram, and the cheapest MoBo that NEC could find. The Pentium machine is at least TWICE as fast as the AMD box, no matter what OS it is running. That goes for Win98, W2K, NT4.0, Solaris 8, and Mandrake Linux. My little network test field has been a real eye opener to me. I will go with Intel chips from now on.
