Are you sure it is the processor and not some other part that is the bottleneck, such as disk or NIC or your pipe to the outside world (ISP)? He's probably running a big PHP web app... If so try eaccelerator first, it's in ports under www/eaccelerator. It's an opcode cache for PHP... should give you a major speed boost. Yes, I have this running. Made a HUGE difference. If it is indeed a PHP thing.

Are you sure it is the processor and not some other part that is the bottleneck, such as disk or NIC or your pipe to the outside world (ISP)? Unless you are doing some awful major crunching such as combining a major size database with heavy calculation on stuff that your server puts up, you could run a pretty major web site on 1/4 that CPU. Just feeding web pages, even with pretty good size forms shouldn't be a problem. So, yes, 64 bits should be OK, but I wonder if it would solve your speed problem - if some other part of the process is what is really holding things up. jerry > -- > Robin Becker > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

What sort of webserving are you doing that the Celeron is slow?
