Nowadays, HP offers many machines running HP-UX with greater horsepower than
the Series 500.  I don't know much about the 386-based Vectra, but the Series
300 line (specifically the Model 350 and 360) and the Series 800 line (all
models) are more powerful than the older Series 500 family.  Check with your
local HP sales representative.
