I was wondering how a 320 performs in this situation. Another alternative is to buy 4 SLC's. Does anybody have any tales to tell about a RS/6000 as a X-server, horror stories, stories of great performance, or whatever? Would you go for the 4 SLC's (or something similar) instead ? thanks gord u. --------------------- Gord Urquhart -- Tech Support University Computing Systems University of Alberta email -- gord@atropos.ucs.ualberta.ca
