RE: multimonitor trading set up: Celeron vs. AMD K6-3 - Floating Point Unit

You don't understand....just because it accepts the floating point value,
doesn't mean it takes advantage of the hardware FPU.....it could elect to
use floating point calculations in emulation-mode which is a LOT slower.....

Regarding the cache......I wonder how much of a difference it makes on
TS2000i performance ?
