I can't decide whether to get a large hard drive this summer or a medium sized
hard drive and a math chip.  Which of course is going to lead to the question, 
do I really need a math chip?

I will not be using AutoCAD, and such, but will be using the windows 3.0 SDK 
which apparantly needs the chip, and I will be doing much other intense comp-
iling efforts.  

However, apart from that and graphics such as Fractals, do you think it's worth
the $350 I'm going to have to for over for it...?

Opinions (reasonable ones ie no "get a mac") would be appreciated.
