I am  loking for a real time 3D graphics  animation/simulation 
platform.  In my prior environment I used SGI IRIS 2400T hardware,
and I am currently considering getting  SGI 310 GTX system.

However, the rest of my computing environment  consists of a 
moderate network of SPARC stations and the corresponding support.
SUN is  supposed to start shipping  soon a new graphics accelerator
board with SPARC 2 that they call GT.
The SPARC 2  hardware with  a GT accelerator looks  promissing, but
I am not sure how to make the comparison since I have no experince 
with any graphics accelerator hardwarte from SUN nor with 4D/310/GTX.

Any advise of how to compare these two machines  will be appreciated.

Thanks, in advance.
