i think that any (new) CPU currently available in the market will be able to serve your needs, whether it be a Willamette Celeron, a Duron (soon to be phased out), an Athlon XP, or Pentium 4 Northwood. I suggest you just go with the best price-performance ratio (e.g. Athlon XP 2000+, in my opinion) or whatever you can afford. /dre _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
