The reason I ask is that the Pentium II chip has a small flaw with subtraction. It is visible in Windows95, but I don't know if FreeBSD would have problems with the flaw. If it would, I would much rather go with a Pentium Pro and not risk any downtime due to the flaw. Any help on this matter is appreciated.
