I don't think this got out so i'm reposting....

Recently at work I've been looking at a HP Vectra 486, they had a Sparcstation
in for evaluation / comparison and the conclusion was that the 486 was faster
, the 486 was runnig dos the Sparc Unix, what I was wondering was has anyone
have any experience that confirms these results or otherwise ?

	on another (related) topic what do people think about benchmarking
	systems ?
