   Shame it can't outperform a SPARC though :-)

I upgraded my B'Land cube to '040 and added 8MB RAM to bring it up to
16MB and I'd pit my cube against a similarly-equipped SPARC 1 anyday.

As for massive power, the only thing you need is a big fast CPU chip.
There are lots available on the market today (SPARC, Moto 88K, MIPS,
etc), so adding a more powerful chip to keep in front of the "Joneses"
is quite obviously a no-brainer. To me, it's what you can make that
CPU do that's important... thus, I bought a NeXT.
