What is faster?

[SHAWN]

I have a choice for my PC at my job. I am currently using this:

2xPIII 700mhz/100fsb/256 l2 cache

I have 1 PIII 733/133/256 sitting around. What would be faster, the 2xPIII's or the 733 with 33mhz more cpu and 33mhz more fsb but I only have 1.

Any input is appreciated. For some reason it felt smoother with the 733.

Depends on what you use it for.

EDIT: What's the OS?

 

[SHAWN]

XP PRo. I usually have2 main programs opened along with outlook and the internet.

I would go for the 733.

I would go for the dual...

Yeh i would think the dual would be a lot faster because of the 2 physical cpu's but i suppose it depends on your motherboard, ram and hdd configuration as well which might be why the 700 felt smoother?

well was the last time u did a fresh copy on the dual prolly why the other on felt smoother.how much ram is in the dual if there is a spare slot on the dual move that 256 of ram to the dual.
as u can see i am for the dual.

I have 832mb of ram in the PC and its a fresh copy.
