Just remember folks....The AMD "Duron" and Intel "Celeron" series are
neutered-cache processors(half-cache). They're like me...not good at math!
For systems backtesting you will want to stay-away from these and use the
AMD "Athlon" or Intel "Pentium" series processors, which are, of-course more
expensive.
You will notice a major difference in performance for math-intensive
applications. Otherwise you can hardly tell the difference, even with
streaming audio and video playback.
Also, there are some new "hyper-threading" motherboards based on the SiS
645, Intel 845E (and other) chipsets. With 533MHz bus speeds, and only one
processor, these will outperform some standard dual-processor boards.
