In Sentry the Sun 3/80 is quoted as doing 5,150. It is the Sun 3/470
with a $40,900 price tag that does 11,748.
The GVP board reaches that with a 32MHz crystal - but is supplied
with a 25MHz one. Using a 32MHz crystal caused the CPU to heat up.

BTW, the most astonishing fact in this review was that a Compaq 386/20
with a 80386/20NHz + 80387 (does 5,705) costs --$21,421--.
Note the <1> (one) dollar. "Err, sorry sir, that was 21,420 plus,
lets see, umm, ONE DOLLAR".
