Hi Joan, don't worry about bugs in the Pentium Pro/PII, you are more likely
to suffer problems due to software bugs or dodgy memory. Rather than a
problem with the processor (Cyrix excluded in that statement). The PII is
great but most machines with a 333 only offer about 7% better performance
that a 300 so I'd go for that.
Also Intel will be releasing Socket2 processors soon as well as quad speed
AGP ports, so what the news reports in the trades.
A machine to last I would say is a P2/300 128mb SDram, 6-12gb Harddrive, 4mb
agp card, 17" monitor.
In two years time we will be running on machines that will hit the 1000mhz
barrier but I don't know what you could do that will kneed that much
horsepower.
