I am planning on purchasing a UNIX based graphical
workstation for performing real time simulation
of wire frame and solid models. I have seen the
IRIS 3030 but only a video tape of the Apollo DN580.

Does anyone have any information on how the performance
of these two machines compare? Are there any other systems
I should be considering?

I would also be interested on the ease of use of the respective
graphical libraries in generating simulation applications.
Any comments?  Please respond by e-mail.
