Pentium Pro server



Hey everyone,

Does anyone have a gut-level feel for how capable a dual Pentium Pro 200
machine would be as a server compared to, say, a PIII 500? I'm thinking
about slapping together a dual P-Pro system using a mix of spare and new
parts, but I'm not sure it's worth it now that much newer systems have
gotten quite cheap. BTW, let's assume SCSI in both systems. I'm
considering this system for Web serving mostly. It would probably be doing
a lot of dynamic content so I suspect CPU horsepower is more of an issue
than with more static Web serving. Any ideas?
