I eam considering buying a pentium early next year.  I'm not going to 
upgrade my current machine but get an additional computer.

My question is  - Is it worth buying a P75?  I currently have a 486DX2 
66, so how much faster will a P75 be?

Is there a lot of speed difference between a more expensive P75 and a 
cheap one (say from Tiny) ?

Is it worth networking the machines to share resources?  One machine 
will be used for software development and the other(my current machine 
for DTP, word processing, games etc etc.  Is networking a viable 
alternative to buying another CD-rom, sound card etc ?

Finally if I asked nicely would people I buy the computer from chuck in 
a Zip drive highly discounted (or even better free!).

Any help grateful

Simon
