Cameron,
>> the ALR Q SMP revolution is around $25,000
has 4 Pentiums-133's each with 2 meg cpu cache, dedicated cpu to memory paths
for each, and up to 1 gig EDC (error detection + correction ) <<
sounds interesting, but not really fast enough.
>> then there are the quad P-6 machines available in Dec.
for under $30,000 1200 + Mips !! <<
how does 1200+ MIP's compare to an alphaserver 4 cpu (21164 300mhz)?
I know it's 25% of the price, but what percentage of the performance?
Hopefully, I'll be able to trade in some of my Pentium 100's and RAM when the
time comes <g>.
