OT: Fastest Pentium Pro?

[ed sharpe]

I have seen pictures of the  giant rack proliant!~  We want one of those but 
have one of the towers with 2 processors in it... also have the 11x17 
dulpexing monster laser printer to display next to it..... looks 
impressive....  but... want a rack unit too with the rack fully stuffed like 
in the picture I saw!
