- Looking through the current Australian Sun price list, I see that the
- Sparcstation LX is priced at A$3000 more than the IPX (each with
- 16MB of memory, a 424MB disk, and the same monitor.) The CPU
- performance of the LX is specint92 = 26, specfp = 21. Comparable
- figures for the IPX are 22 and 22.
-
- Can anyone provide a good reason why I should pay the extra money
- for an LX to be used in a scientific/engineering environment?
