- * Where can I find a description of the programs and methods used to
- compute spec marks?
-
- * What are the differences between the 92 and 89 specs?
-
- * HP PA and IBM RS/6000 architectures are more floating point biased
- than are Sun SPARC or MIPS R4000. Does this mean that Sun/MIPS would
- be a better database server?
-
- * How much of an impact does I/O speed have on SpecMarks? I would
- think that fast I/O might be more important in DB applications than in
- the Spec suite, but I'm not sure.
-
- * Where is the FAQ for this group kept?
-
- Thanks,
- Steve
