What to do..Dual P3-933 or Axia 1.0@1.4

[Need4Speed]

Well, I guess I am lucky to have this dilemma...

Which CPU/mobo combo should I use for my main box?

Running win2k/XP
Geforce2 GTS 32mb

assume that all other components remain the same...
scsi hdd, cd, cdrw, etc....

I play alot of games, but i also do a lot of CAD and 3d Visualization stuff. These apps are multithreaded so they will take advantage of the second cpu.

My question is:

Will I get more (all around) from the dual 933 or from the single 1.4?

go with the single processor system, it is just less hassle and you wont notice a big performace difference at all.

how would it be less hassle? i already own both systems and am just trying to determine which box I will use as my workstation and which will be the server.

If you plan on having additional clients using the server, put the dualie on it.

Other wise I would just have to use it as my workstation. IMHO

 

[Need4Speed]

eventually i will, but i probably wont be running active directory. right now its acting as a file server for the LAN, Web server (www.cyberfrogs.net) and FTP

I would say keep the dual but thats just me sig

 

[Need4Speed]

right now the dual is the server and the t-bird is the workstation

 

[Desmoquattro]

i say dual.

i have dual, it kicks ass.

once you go dual you dont go back. people who havent tried it dont know what they talk about when they say dont go dual, too much hassle...
