Hallo, we (see below) consider buying one or two high performance 32-Bit graphic workstations. During the process of selection and evaluation we found in the "Dataquest Research Newsletter 1986-7" a comparison between Apollo-Domain (DN580), Sun 160C and 3 other workstations. There is a table that says: Relative performance (1 is best, 5 is worst) Apollo DN580 xxx yyy zzz Sun 3/160C Computing 3 4 5 2 1 Graphics 1 5 4 2 3 Networkng 1 3 5 4 2 Applic. 2 5 4 1 3 My questions are: a.) Where does the 3 for Apollo Computing come from? b.) Where does the 3 for Sun 3/160C graphics come from? I would be most grateful if people who really know the answer (Dataquest) could send me a short (or long) explanation. PLEASE respond directly to <XBR2D96D@DDATHD21>, because I'm not a member of this list. Regards Martin Knoblauch TH-Darmstadt Dept.
