- According to what I've seen, the new XZ graphics option is twice the
- performance of the old XS24 and will run in a standard Indigo. Does
- the Z refer to a standard Z-buffer? What is the cost? Did the XS24
- and Elan board costs drop?
-
- I have been waiting for SGI to release a decent low-cost machine with
- a decent low-cost 24-bit Zbuffer option. I want a machine I can
- buy for home use that costs less than $10K list. Has this happened?
