CPU's
I have a question. Is Linux (Redhat 7.2 specifically) set up to run better/faster on a Pentium cpu vs. an AMD? The reason I ask is, I have a PIII 733 w/512 pc133, and a 4mb video card at work, and an AMD 1.4 w/1gb ddr, and a Radeon 64mb DDR at home, and the PIII at work runs a lot faster. I have a fresh install of Redhat 7.2 on them both, and have compared active processes to make sure nothing different is running. The PIII is still noticably faster. This is not surfing the internet, this is strictly machine performance. If anyone has any answers/suggestions as to what is going on with this, please help me out. Thanks
