No, not quite. I have the issue in question in front of me. The prices, Dhrystone ratings, clock speeds and RAM amounts follow; quoted, of course, without permission. Computer Price Dhrystones CPU/MHz RAM Megs Sun 3/80 $12,595 5,154 68030/20 MHz 4 Meg of RAM Compaq 386/20 21,421 5,705 80386/20 MHz 8 Meg of RAM Apollo DN3500 19,750 7,075 68030/25 MHz 8 Meg of RAM Sun 3/470 40,900 11,748 68030/33 MHz 8 Meg of RAM Amiga 2000 5,600 7,273 68030/25 MHz 5 Meg of RAM with Impact ????? >11,000 68030/32 MHz Crystal 5 Meg of RAM A3001-4MB RAM, 40 Meg Quantum HD Note that the 11,000 Dhrystones/sec Sun system is the $40,900 Sun 3/470, not the Sun 3/80. Also note that the 11,000 Dhrystones/sec timing was not included in the chart in the article, as it was done by driving the 25 MHz 68030 way beyond the rated speed by using a 32 MHz crystal, causing overheating. There is also a good review of the A-MAX MacIntosh Emulator in the same issue of the Sentry. >> hubey@OSultrix.montclair.edu hubey@pilot.njin.net >> hubey@apollo.montclair.edu VOICE: 201-893-5269 >> ...!rutgers!njin!hubey >-- >Dave Haynie "The 32 Bit Guy" Commodore-Amiga "The Crew That Never Rests" > {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: D-DAVE H BIX: hazy > Amiga -- It's not just a job, it's an obsession
