Steve;
BTW, while we're writing things that we hope CBM is listening to…. I
picked <flames> on another network over Unix Reviews' review of the
workstations. I don't know how valid this is but the guy claimed that the
major contributor to the Amy's poor showing was that the swap space was too
small.
Again, I don't know if he is right but if so then his other statement was
also correct in that while one might expect such things from Byte or a PC
rag, Unix review should know better than to handicap a machine in that
fashion.
He did not publish any numbers (which brings his assertions into question)
but he stated that when properly configured, the Amy Unix box gives
performance figures comparible to what one would expect based upon
processor differences. -bill – via Whap!
