Leo:

I would definitely wait. The Intel BX chipset is due out
on April 15, 1998.

It will offer a 100 MHz front end BUS, instead of 66MHz.
Improved AGP, also.

Furthermore, the Celeron CPU will debut; it's an inexpensive
P-II without the L-2 cache.

So wait a little longer. Of course, you might want to wait
for the July 1998 price cuts, too.  <g>
