To extend your metaphor, remember that the side street is getting 
demolished pretty soon and being replaced by a freeway.

If you're buying now, why would you not go for the PPro.  It will remain 
top of the line for a least a few more months (until a PPro >200 is 
released), and as more and more apps are rewritten in 32-bit code, this 
machine will gain utility as opposed to the Pentium which will remain the 
same.
