[Cu-wireless] specs for a compile server, anyone?

[Tim Yardley]

Hyperthreaded will show up as "2 cpus" both "operating" at 2.4 ghz.  You
would need to get more ram for it (but ram is a ripoff from dell).  It
doesn't need ecc ram, and you can get ram pretty cheap now (pc3200 though
would be needed).

There is an faq about this machine here:
http://www.aaltonen.us/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8


Honestly, if I didn't have enough machines already, I would hop on this deal
for myself.  It is an intel oem board, a dell, a fast proc, hyperthreaded, a
great case... etc etc.  Awesome deal for <$500. It would run circles around
the athlon 1.3.  You would also get a free palm zire if you order soon as
well.

How will the speed of this compare with the 1.3GHz Athlon?

This is what I use now; how will Zach's and Tim's suggestions compare?
