[no subject]

I have tried developing on a dual 64-bit Opteron (2.0 GHz) with 2 GB of
memory and on a 3.6 GHz HP laptop with 1 GB of memory and the laptop seems
way faster than the dual box.  I have been told that the most important
thing is clock speed and that using 2 processors is irrelevant.  Is this
correct ?  Is AMD's FX line of processors (2.8 GHz) faster than Intel's P4
(I think around 3.74 GHz) ?  Does RAM matter past 1 GB ??  Any opinions of
using a SCSI HD/PCI card vs. a SATA HD through the motherboard ?

I have tried to Google for an answer to this but have found nothing of
substance.  My knowledge of hardware with regards to processors and Java is
sadly lacking.

I would appreciate any tips / advice / comments.  Thanks,

Greg
