Pro150 - depending on software requirements.

- problem, most of Win95 is 16bit (out of 13 programs current open on
my PC 5 of them are 16-bit, 2 of them are Win95 primary OS tasks)!
A program called WinTop will tell you what software on your PC is
16/32 bit, and alot of other shareware progs do the same.

true, but thanks to Win95 for an operating system it'll only run a
little faster than the P133, if you switched to NT then you'd notice
the advantage of a PPro.

just.

depends on how fast your modem is and how much ram you have!
not really the processor.
(I currently use a P66 16Mb with a 28.8, I would rather "surf" on a
DX33 64Mb 2 x ISDN , it'd be so much quicker!)

hope this helps, i'd get the PPro 150 because it would be slightly
quicker and could probably be used (via an adaptor card) in the newer
PII mothervboards with AGP.
