Our group is considering replacing our 2500T workstations with Personal Iris workstations. Can anyone comment on the following questions? Mail repsonses directly to me and I'll summarize the responses in a subsequent post. - How do the two workstations compare in terms of raw compute power and graphics speed? Our application will consist of simulating mobile robots over rough terrain. The terrain will be ~10,000 flat shaded polygons. - Given the above specifications, what sort of frame rate can we reasonably expect? - How important is having Z-buffer capability for our application? Are higher frame rates achieved by using Z-buffer or some BSP algorithm? Thanks for your help... Regis.Hoffman@fas.ri.cmu.edu
