Regular or workstation?

I have a choice between a cheap desktop pc or workstation. The only thing is I don't know which to choose.

desktop: 400mhz with 128 ram
workstation: 500mhz with 256 ram & scsi hdd

Basically I want to buy one of them as a cheap secondary computer for general use/spare. My brother told me I should get the 400mhz since I'm using it for just regular stuff & that the workstation isn't really designed for that. My friend says that it doesn't matter which one I get. I'd like the workstation cause it's more powerful of course but I don't want to get a computer that's set for completely different uses than my intentions.
So.............. which is the better choice?

And ty in advance for the help. :)
 
The workstation is a better machine although it's a bit more effort to configure (dang scsi) .. of course there isnt really a world of difference consdering both machines are serverl generations old
