I have an unexplainable fascination with that CPU too. A couple years ago I picked up an old workstation with two PPro 200 (256k). The 168pin EDO RAM is very hard to come by these days, especially as the manual says my machine accepts unbuffered RAM only, and most EDORAM listings on ebay back then didn't even bother say whether they are or not. I've read elsewhere that Pentium Pros have been bought up left and right during the last decade or so since they have a lot of gold content, which is kind of sad from a nerd's perspective. I'd like to have a matching pair of the 1MB model, but they're super rare and crazy expensive if they pop up at all. The 512k ones are still available, but most sellers nowadays advertise these CPUs for their gold content, so they don't bother to list details like the stepping, which you'd want to know if you're building an SMP system. Regarding the article, it was a great read, although I couldn't really understand why they were going for Win2003 instead of Win2000. Getting it to work seemed to take several months; finding older versions of the software you'd want to run sounds like a much simpler solution, just like they mentioned for WinRAR. I guess it was one of these "because I can" decisions. :-)
