The P2 will smoke it. Better yet, go up to 350 or 400MHz, then you can
utilize 100MHz system bus.

Since the P2 has DIB (dual independent bus) for the L2 cache, higher clock
rates, and much faster DRAM access, you'll definitely notice the
difference. Pros are at the end of their lifecycle, and will be hard to
support.
