hey i see this question asked a lot but since i wasn't doing an upgrade at the time i really didn't pay much attention, i need to build a new i386 home office workstation, OS of course would be SuSE-Linux, now what to buy? i use a p200 currently, and usually do most of my work in staroffice, gimp, and netscrap,(no apache, servers or networking for that matter) the first two get really slow, gimp, usually when a lot of images are open or really big, staroffice just seems to be slow always.....i currently have a voodoo3 and 128mb ram which has helped, but now i can afford a faster processor/system. advise, thoughts, and ideas welcome specifically, what are the pros/cons of Athlon, Duron vs. Celeron, Pentium II, III TIA, don -- proud Linux user since kernel 1.1.54 icq#42235604

Athlon/Duron: CPU is inexpensive, but motherboard is expensive. Pentium/Celeron: CPU is expensive, but motherboard is inexpensive. Since the performance and price between the two different types are relatively (give or take) the same, I would focus on what features I would like to have in the motherboard since the motherboard will determine what you can or cannot do in the future. Find a great motherboard, find the CPU that goes with it. Christopher Reimer

which speed t-bird? i'm looking at 1ghz t-bird on a tyan mb, i picked the tyan because of price and the needed isa slot.... had you any kernel or config problems with the t-bird? thanks, don W.D.McKinney wrote:

good question, i think :) i saw somewhere, maybe LJ, that the tbird has better cache than the duron, (duron is cheaper),and i haven't seen a duron over 850mhz, but both belong to AMD's Athlon line of processors try to digest the info at these sites: http://direct.mwave.com/mwave/doc/A03016.html http://direct.mwave.com/mwave/doc/A02414.html

I just completed the switch of my home office to SuSE 7. I have it running *very* nicely on a homebuilt box with a PIII 800 on an 815e board (Asus CUSl2),and 256MB with a Deskstar 75GXP 30MB HDD. Even VMware runs pretty quickly and does not hog the system. I would like to run StarOffice, but a huge legacy of WordPerfect files) some in ancient formats), ties me to that.

I will send more details of my system if you are interested. Geoff __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
