Hi,

I need to spend some cash b4 the end of the first tax quarter, so...

What makes the most sense for a quad SMP box today?

---
The Intel SC450NX is available for around $3500,
Pentium II Xeon 400MHz MMX w/1024K 1MB cache - OEM PULLS are available
for $200,
New boxed PIII Xeon 500MHz w/512K cache go for around $950,

What would give overall better performance the extra cache, or the
extra MHz?

---
New boxed PIII Xeon 733MHz w/512K cache coppermine go for $750,
will any coppermine capable quad boards be available anytime in the
forseeable future?

Do they even make sense for a quad system, eg. the very small cache?
