Philip,
>> But the DEC 4 banger seems a little un-economic. At that point, why not
just get the Onyx running Softimage? <<
I disagree. The DEC alphaserver will actually be much more economical (and
faster) than SGI's for a fraction of the price. I figured an alphaserver 4 x
300mhz would be faster than our Challenge XL (8 x r4400 200mhz) for a quarter
of the price. Make sense?
Also, I think MAX will be better than Softimage (which I've used) also at a
fraction of the price, especially considering all the development that will
occur for MAX – the sky's the limit.
