[rescue] compare E250 and Ultra 2

[Paul Phillips]

Hello, rescue people...

I've been thinking of trying to rescue either an E250 or an Ultra 2 for use 
as a  web server, (servlets, etc).

I notice that Ultra2s can be found at relatively reasonable prices, while 
E250s seem much more expensive.

Would similarly configured E250 and Ultra 2 perform equally well for my 
intended use?  If so, why are the E250s so expensive, other than their 
expandability?

Thanks for any  comments...

PS - I already have one Ultra 2 dual 300 that has a different task 
(development machine).  In a (not particularly scientific) test, I notice 
that my G4 with a single 533 mhz processor starts up Tomcat almost twice as 
fast as does the Ultra 2 dual 300...
