I had a Pentium Pro 266Mhz but the system went out. I have a chance to get a P2 266Mhz, im wondering what is faster? I know PPro's go alot faster then what they say.

I did not know they did a PentimPro 266 according to Intel 200mhz was fastest: http://processorfinder.intel.com/scripts/list.asp?ProcFam=50&CorSpd=ALL&SysBusSpd=ALL&PkgType=ALL
The Pro were designed for Wirkstations whilst P2 are MMX therefore should handle graphics/sound etc better. As to speed it is relative to what you are trying to do, but would expect the P2 to be a superior product overall for day to day computing
