yeah, yeah :)

Actually If i did leave this out, it's not for a server, if it was i WOULD
use the pro. But its just for a Personal X/Development can.
The places i called in shopper about *5*, hardly a huge effort to locate a
supplier, but those 5 have dropped the 180's and lower they have the 200's
but felt like it was only a matter of time before the 200's were gone as
well. So i thought I would save more money get a dual Pentium 200 tyan
tomcat 4 and get more disk space with the money saved :)

I would rarely use pentiums in a server for any client unless it was
something like a shell server or something trivial. A pro would almost
always be my first choice. 

BTW whats the scoop on the Pentium II's, I hear there not as good at
performing as the Pro's. Just gossip i hear nothing factual.
