- I am trying to find out if we should upgrade our machines with a Z-buffer.
- Can anyone fill me in on the obvious advantages (other than being able to run
- several of the Demos :-). While we do mostly number crunching, we do a fair
- amount of graphical work in our analysis. What (examples) will it speed up?
- Also, what about cost? (My SGI Rep is away on Vacation)
-
- Thanks!
