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. -- ===================================| Open Systems Networking And Consulting.
