As part of a research grant, we are going to have money to purchase a PC.
The thing is going to have to run microsimulation on pretty large datasets.
At present, a 20mHz 386 is taking about 20minutes to process about 20,000
elements.  We are planning on increasing both the size of the dataset and
the length into the future the simulation runs.

To this end, we will like purchase a 33mHz 386.  It will have to have a
large, fast hard disk and probably 4-8 megs of memory??

Any suggestions??

Thanks,
alan
