PMJI I've been running on an 150 Mhz AXP since August, I compiled
some ray tracers on it (POVRay and Polyray) and have found the AXP to
be between 2.4 and 3.5 times the speed of a 486/66 for these
applications.
Carrera (714)-707-5051 has a 200 Mhz version (32 meg/500 meg SCSI, ATI
PCI, Ethernet, CD, KB, Mouse, no monitor) for $7K. I should be
receiving one in a few weeks. This ones based on the 21064, a lower
performance 21066 version is in the $4K range.
They all run under NT, the rep said 3DS runs faster on these boxes
than a Pentium, (what do you think he would say :)). I thought there
were memory problems running PharLap stuff under NT (anybody know for
sure?), in any case I'd love to get a copy of 3DSr3 compiler
specifically for the AXP. I bet it would cook.
