If you want to save some money, a Pro 166MHz with a 83MHz bus.
Except for pure floating point this will give you overall system performance
much better then a Pro 200.
If you are really cheap (like me) get a Pro 150 and over clock it to 166MHz.
I've never come in contact with anyone who could take their Pro 150 to 166.
(Mine went to 180 on a Tyan 1668D Dual)
