You'll get better performance (much > better) and save money. Here's a myth that's going to die a quick death. Two years ago, some Sun architectures were much quicker than the equivalent PC architectures. It just ain't true anymore. It was the surprise of my life when I discovered that a Dell 486-25 (running Dell Unix) was a snappier machine that a Sun IPC, but it's true. PC hardware has grown up in the last couple of years. -- Rick Farris RF Engineering POB M Del Mar, CA 92014 voice (619) 259-6793 rfarris@rfengr.com ...!ucsd!serene!rfarris serenity bbs 259-7757
