Hmmmmmmmm- Am thinking about trading in my sleepy 486 for a workstation. Have noticed that Sun systems has been around for awhile, and Autodesk has worked with them for years. Does anybody 'round here use a Sparkstation? If so, what operating system do you use? Video? Do you run Acad, 3D Studio, and/or Animator Pro? If so, any headaches? I am doing initial investigation (haven't spent a penny, yet), and, being an architect, everything hinges on whether a workstation (not necessarily Sun) will really benefit me with Autodesk products, because I have faithfully been using them for years. Anyway, thanks in advance for anybody's time- Joe

Joe, << Spark.. ? >> 3DS and Animator Pro will not work. ACAD will. For more details about ACAD, "Go ACAD".

Joe, 3DS does not support Unix so a Sparkstation would only be good for ACAD and as a server. You're best alternative at this time is to go with a Pentium and Network. -JE
