From jonnyg@rover.umd.edu:

	This does not impress me! For a couple of thousand $ less ? if
your are an academic institution you can get a 6152 IBM RT system which is
much better. The 8514 driver for the 6152 system is probably the fastest color
X windows system in existance.

From me:

Top it for the money?  I have no idea.

Top it period?  Try a color DECStation 3100, esp. running UWS 3.1 server.  (Even better, running a field test 3.2 server.)  And I suspect that a SparcStation with the new Sun server (in field test) will do pretty well, though I haven't seen numbers
