 Rami:

If you insist on running WIN95, stay with the Pentium-133.  The Pentium Pro
is designed to take full advantage of a true 32-bit OS, such as WIN NT.  I
have a Pentium Pro-200, and running WIN95 on it, vs. my original P133 was
not worth talking about.  Running NT on the PPro-200 was a different
story...fast!

Regarding Internet speed...a faster CPU doesn't do much.  Go for a fast
video card, and a good quality 33.6 modem!
