Dennis,
From what I heard at Siggraph, the DEC alpha is somewhere between 4 and 6
times faster than a P5-90 and costs about $16K. So, if this is true and
assuming that Max will take advantage of it, it will become our standard
workstation. (ie, one vote for DEC Alpha)
On the other hand, I don't know what other platforms are available to NT.
There may be some faster the the Alpha. Bottom line is: whatever hardware
adesk decides to support, we will purchase the fastest per dollar.
Now we just need to wait for the list. Our company is expanding rapidly and
we purchase a new seat every 2-3 months so it is _extremely_ important we know
asap.
