Except, the Pentium II runs older 16bit applications faster. I don't see any
new Pentium Pro processors being developed, so I would go with a Pentium II. I
just upgraded a 486 to a Pentium II with 64MB of RAM for just over $500. I
used the existing chasis, harddrive, network card, etc.
The motherboard I used is the Gigabyte 686BLX. I don't think you could upgrade
to a Pentium Pro for much less.
