Yeah, buy two of the systems and have spare parts. With the memory and extra disk space it is a better deal than that 200. Now that I've proven my ignorance of Intel's Pentium line my final question is are Pentium Pro 200's a current item likely to be available for, say, six months and hopefully at lower prices than $425.00?
