Ok I have a "dilema"... 2 options for my home server setup.
Option #1: Celeron 633 @ 950Mhz Win2k w/ 256MB RAM on SOYO (VIA chipset) MB
Option #2: 2 x 366 @ 550Mhz Celerons Win2k w/ 160MB RAM on Abit BP6 MB
The server is used for running an 24x7 FTP, HL-TFC server, and a HTTP server (barely ANY traffic on the HTTP). It also serves up mp3's through the home via an external mp3 player, and is used for occasional surfing and SOME game playing by the little lady (by games I mean card games and "crap" like that).
Which option is going to perform better? I guess the RAM isn't too big of an issue as that is what I have available right now, but obviously more can be added if/when needed. Either way more needs to be added... just the SOYO route I can get cheaper RAM that is not Intel chipset compatible.
Ignore the RAW Mhz difference too, unless you think it is going to make a HUGE dif.
Any input, suggestions etc would be greatly appreciated...
