Lines: 16 ->For a 8 user system running SCO Xenix, how does a 386 SX compare to ->a 386 DX? Does Xenix benefit from hardware caches - memory & hard disk? ->Typically, several users would be running VP/ix word processing and several ->Unify (rdb) under Xenix. Surely you jest. One Vpix user doing WP (heavy Desk top publishing) is enough to eat a 386. Two sounds like slow death. Add Unify and I think you are in big trouble. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Neal Rhodes MNOP Ltd (404)- 972-5430 President Lilburn (atlanta) GA 30247 Fax: 978-4741 emory!mnopltd!neal gatech!emory!mnopltd!neal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
