Any comments?

Which is going to be a faster system a Dual PII 300 or a Dual Ppro 200 (with
512K)

Thanks,

In most cases: the PII 300.
Floating point, handling large amounts of data etc.
Only where the 512K cache is used optimally might the PPro be faster
(because level 2 cache is on chip) then again, the Level 1 cache on the
PII is supposed to be bigger or better.

I run floating point calcs and compile a lot of code. Here the PII266
wins over a PPro200 by far.
