I would personally recommend ditching your PPro.  They aren't bad, but you
could do better.  Wait another month or two before gettin a new CPU.  I am
sure the prices will keep droppin.  Correct me if I am wrong, but you can
get a MMX 200 for around $250 now.  Not  a bad deal, but make sure your
motherboard can handle it.
