I'm used to being unpopular, so I'll go the other way. :) I agree with
Jeff. Pentium Pro is just waaaaay to old. My thin clients have more
horsepower than a pentium pro...
I have a quad Xeon (500mhz) server that is too pokey for wide scale use.
If you knocked that down to a Pentium Pro, I think it would be painful.
Try installing linux on the machine, and use it as a desktop. My gut
feeling is that even as a 1 user computer, you're going to be
disappointed with the Pentium Pro.
Just my 2 cents...
