Well, because the Pentium Pro is a true 64-bit RISC architecture, and you'll be
running Unix on it (I assume), definitely get the Pentium Pro.  If you were
going to run Win95 (not a true 32-bit OS), I'd say the Pentium.  With a true
32-bit OS like Win NT, OS/2, or Unix, the Pentium Pro 180MHz 256K will run
circles around a Pentium 200MHz 512K.
