Shoot -- I forgot to make my point.

Two Pentium II/266's are about the same price as a Pentium Pro/200
w/512k cache.  This is (I believe) a much better way of spending
money.  We have better performance on uni-processor (between those
CPUs), and I would expect SMP to be faster (not slower) than the
uni-processor case, so it is a win.
