jhon: following your suggestion i loged in DEC and i also called them today. the problem with DEC XL units are thier price. a compatible system to the micron p60, 64mmegs,1 meg scsi,scsi2 controler, viper pci which sells for $5500 deliverd, was priced at $9500 at DEC. the AXP chip sounds very exciting, but that upgrade is going to add another estimated $1500 to $2000 to the system price totaling to about $11000 at best. now at this price i can own two micron p60 units configured as above, networked for r3. i would realy like to know your opinion as to which option will offer me more productivity; two micron p60 networked for r3 or one DEC XL AXP as a single unit at 150mhz??!! please let me know what you think also if any one else can drop me a note on this it will be nice. thanks in advance ara
