I've posted this so amny other places, I might as well post it here too. We have $150,000 to spend on hardware for a computer graphics visualization system. Currently, we have an Apollo netwrok with about 25 nodes. We're looking to do animation of finite element analysis results and CFD stuff. Obviously, at this dollar level we'll get a lot of CPU speed. What would you buy? HP, Apollo, SGI, SUN, STARDENT? How would you configure your dream system. Thanks in advance, e-mail please, Bob Lipman

My experiences are with the Silicon Graphics Systems and a New Processor involing Sun Sparc advanced series which may beat Silicon Graphics (we shall see, however) Primarily I do molecuarl graphical simulations (i do it better than spelling) of conformations binding and reactions. anderson@cat.syr.edu 315-474-0342
