A company I work with has recently purchased a sparc2 workstation. I was interested in how fast AutoCAD 11 runs on it so I gave them a copy of the San Diego benchmark. It turns out that my 386-33 with 8Mb RAM and 64k hardware cache ran the same time for the test at 5 minutes and 50 seconds. Theoretically, this machine is 3 or 4 times faster. Is it likely that it is very poorly installed, or does AutoCAD just not run that fast on the sparc2? Any feedback is appreciated. Allan Brown
