As someone alluded to, but should have explicitly stated:
Intel will soon discontinue production of the PentiumPro.  I'd
negotiate a lower price based on that.  And if they won't go lower, I'd
just find either a >300 MHz AMD-K6-2, or a multi-processor moboard
using the PII.  And if you do get the PPro, I'd keep an eye open for
spares... Otherwise, a CPU failure would render the moboard useless...
Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.
