Better is "relative."  The Triton-II has better bus speed (and memory
access time.)  The PPro-180 w/Natoma chipset is faster at things like
compiles, etc.  Note that many 180's can be clocked at 200, if
not 233 and work fine (with appropriate heatsinking.)  EDO helps
Natoma chipset MB's also (you can use up to 50 nsec ram effectively.)

So, for video frame grabbing, the Triton-II is likely better, but otherwise
for better CPU perf, the PPro-180 is better.
