I am considering buying a Dell Dimension Pentium Pro and need to 
run FreeBSD on it.

Does anyone have any experience or comments about running FreeBSD on 
Pentium Pros?  I'd be particularly interested if anyone has seen an 
improvement with a 200MHz Pentium Pro when compared with a 200 MHZ 
vanilla Pentium.
