I got the motherboard for $75 and the two PPro 180's for $100 each.. You're
telling me that I can get a dual PII/300 for the same amount? Last I looked,
PII/300's were about $300 each.

I'm a bit curious why you'd use a dual PPro system when you can get a
dual PII-300mhz system for roughly the same price as a dual PPro-200
system. If you're getting the 512k cache version of the Ppro, the
PII seems even more compelling when you consider the going rate for
a PII-350mhz (faster AND cheaper) is about $150 less per processor.
