I have been using a Silicon Graphics Iris 3120 for several months and feel fairly familiar with SGI and their products, and am reasonably sure that I can expect more of the same out of them in the future. Next year we (Ford Aerospace) need to purchase a state-of-the-art graphics machine; we have been looking at H-P's SRX line as well as SGI's 4D/60 (and even Sun's TAAC-1 system, but with less enthusiasm). I am posting this in hopes of soliciting information about the SRX machines; if anyone out there is currently using one, or you have heard of someone's experiences with one, I would greatly appreciate hearing about it. Want I would like the most is a relative comparison of the 4D/60 to the SRX machines, but if you don't have experience with the SGI stuff, that's OK. I'm glad to get any info I can. All complaints, praise, critiques, and rumors are welcome. Thanks in advance, Rion Cassidy <rion@wdl1> {...sgi|sun|ucbvax}!wdl1!rion
