I can't take it any more, the P166 is going to server duty and I'm
building a new system.  My question is this:  I have been advised by
several game-junky friends that it's not worth the extra $ to get a P3
chip over a minimum 600mHz Celeron.  True of not? Cause I certainly have
better things to do with the extra bucks.  I just want something that
won't choke on wide-open maps with lots of models (ie- arena-type
railgun only servers).  Thanks!!
