My single K7/500 seems way more than twice as fast as my single
Celeron 366. I'd say go with the K7. I'm already drooling in
anticipation of the dual K7 mobos....
(I can provide results for any benchmark that's reasonably easy
to obtain and run. I have Linux and Win98 on both machines. I
also have a dual P-II/350 with Linux and NT for comparison --
that may actually be a reasonable alternative if the parts are
still obtainable. P-II 450's are less than US$100 now, and 440BX
dual P-II motherboards seem to go for about US$150.)
