1 P II 450 vs 2 PII 350

[Lawrence D. Lopez]

I notice that one Pentium II 450 is $600.
But two Pentium II 350 processors are $249 x 2 or $498.

Obviously single threaded code would run faster
on the 450 mHz processor.

I was wondering if it was worth the trouble going to
SMP.

The application is program development.

I, personally, have found 2 processor systems handy
when large amounts of kernel debugging output are placed
on a X windows screen.  This was in a Sun environment
though.
