for now the dual P3 1Ghz is faster by a large margin of course

2x1Ghz = 2Ghz

whereas K7 is 1.33Ghz

Also a lot of other things go faster on the dual.

HOWEVER one small note. A dual AMD motherboard is getting released
around oktober 2001, then one might buy another K7 of 1.33Ghz
and put it in the mainboard.

Though that mainboard is going to be pretty expensive, like USA$ 1000 or
something more and probably requiring a server case too like $200.
