Tony,
RE"For Office 97, Microsoft Project, Excel, Eudora, etc., it will do just fine. In fact, it does scream with those tools."
Think about what you just said. A PII-233 is good enough for most everyone.

I'm not so sure AUTOCAD wouldn't run quite nicely on a P-II 233 seeing as I've been running it since the days it was developed to run on a 386...even a 286. For some reason it runs well on Cyrix chips despite the weak FPU/strong integer.
Jim

Tony: The guys doing Autocad, Solidworks or CADkey get my signature when they uprade, on purchase req's that say dual PPro, or dual PII 400 MHz.

Enjoy your PII and keep signing those requisitions for dual processor systems using Intel's latest and greatest!
