Does anyone have any recommendations on what is the best architecture to put
FreeBSD on?, Pentium Pro 200, Dual Pentium 166?

This computer would be a server for roughly 800 users, with an average of
10-15 logged on at any time, running a variety of programs from mail, and
IRC, to compiling.  I plan on putting 196Megs of memory + 3.2 GB
EIDE Drive (+ a SCSI card (any suggestions) for laster upgrading)  But I
need to know which would serve best the Pentium Pro 200 or a Dual P166.

Thanks,
Jeffrey Kenney (jsk@cif.rochester.edu)
