Is anyone out there running VMS on an 8300? What kind of throughput
are you actually experiencing? What kind of job mix do you have?

We are thinking about replacing two 780's with an 8300. The job mix
between the two machines is about 30% batch jobs (mostly running stat
packages like SPSS and SAS) and the rest interactive with a hefty part
of the interactive being edit-compile-link-run done by students.

Would a flock of uVAX II's be a better replacement? Any informed
opinions?
