Subject: Chip speeds

Hi,

I'm thinking of upgrading my sad outdated 433Mhz Celeron, with 256MHz SD RAM for
a somewhat faster beast.

I like the look of a machine with an AMD Athlon 2600+ chip with 512M DDR RAM,
but for a few hundred pounds more I could get almost the same machine (except
with superior graphics card, bigger monitor, networking capability - none of
which I really need) with a Pentium 4 2.6GHz chip.

Can anyone advise the difference in speed of the PIV over the Athlon, and will I
really notice it when using Chessbase and Winboard engines on the machine.

Thanks and Regards,

Daz
