Dual CPU board = $200 (2) AthlonMP 2000 CPUs - $300 Single CPU board - $100-$140 1 AthlonXP 2500 - $200 Yes, about $150-$200 cheaper if you put it together yourself. A dual AthlonMP 2000 (2x1.67 GHz/256 KB L2) would be faster than a single AthlonXP 2500 (1x1.83 GHz/512 KB L2) minus difference in bus speed. I am curious. Do you think a 166 MHz FSB would be enough to give the AthlonXP 2500 the advantage here? Assuming same clock timings on the ram, of course. This makes the ram on the AthlonXP 2500 run 25% faster. -Matt
