Sun 4/380? I doubt that 8-) How about RS/6000 Station 730? ||| Excuse me, but if you want real speed from an RS/6000, why not choose the 540 which is 41.1 MIPS ( No flames on use of MIPS please) compared to the 730 which is only 34.5 MIPS. Not to mention the 540 has more slots for memory. X windows runs faster on the 540 anyhow due to the speed differences in the graphics boards, it just can't display 16.7 million colors. >>-- >>Peter da Silva. `-_-' >>. >Ralph Seguin | "You mean THE Zaphod Beeblebrox?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scott C.
