In the world of Linux, or Unix in general, what are the advantages
of a PIII over a Celeron....assuming they both have the same clock
speed, FSB speed, and level 2 onboard cache?
I'll qualify my question with a little on what apps I'll be running:
DB (MySQL or Postgresql),
compilers,
X,
Office Suite (don't know which),
Gimp,
apache & PHP,
email.
This will be a development/workstation box. No games...nothing against
'em, I just don't play 'em.
Are any of these apps in the Linux world written to take advantage
additional instruction set(s) available on the PIII (assuming that is
the difference between a PIII and Celeron)?
And, the reason I've limited this to Intel is I've already got the
Socket 370 mainboard.
