Hmmmm, my choice would be the Athlon. Most user-level PC motherboards can't handle multiprocessing that well and a 533 Celeron is a slow beast. Having said that, I've heard of some incompatibilities between Linux and Athlons. Dunno which version, though. I'd expect it to be fixed now, but worth a check in the usual NGs.

I'd go with Linux, if this is not to be used as a home office system as well. No question it is more stable than W2K.
