What is the deal with the Pentium II vs. Pentium Pro?  I thought that
the 333 Mhz Pentium II would run 32 bit code (like OS/2) as well as a
Pentium Pro?  I have just purchased a 333 Mhz Pentium II, would I have
been better off with a Pentium Pro?  What is the highest clock rate on a
Pentium Pro?
Thanks
Peter
