Sorry for this shameless plug, but try looking at

www.tomshardware.com

This should fill you in a little.

At current rates the Athlon DDR combo is the cheapest (and only a tiny little bit behind Intel's latest processors [Northwood core]).

the 2000+ (1.67 GHz [i think]) athlon is faster and cheaper than a 2GHz P4 (with the Willamette core).

Remember there are two types of P4 on the market, the Willamette core (1GHz to 2GHz) and the Northwood core (2GHz +)

Its worthwile noting that the the northwood core is intels latest - so the system is more likley (if they stop changing the sockets) to be upgradeable, but AMD are designing a new Athlon core to keep up so it may not be as upgradable.

For my money - Athlon DDR.

geteuid

GETUID(2)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							 GETUID(2)

NAME

       getuid, geteuid - get user identity

SYNOPSIS

       #include <unistd.h>
       #include <sys/types.h>

       uid_t getuid(void);
       uid_t geteuid(void);

DESCRIPTION

       getuid() returns the real user ID of the calling process.

       geteuid() returns the effective user ID of the calling process.

       When  a normal program is executed, the effective and real user ID of the process are set to the ID of the user executing the file.  When a
       set ID program is executed the real user ID is set to the calling user and the effective user ID corresponds to the set ID bit on the  file
       being executed.

ERRORS

       These functions are always successful.

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001, 4.3BSD.

NOTES

   History
       In Unix V6 the getuid() call returned (euid << 8) + uid.  Unix V7 introduced separate calls getuid() and geteuid().

SEE ALSO

       getresuid(2), setreuid(2), setuid(2), credentials(7)
