- Maybe when the 586 hits in EISA configurations. A 486DX-50
- with EISA won't touch it now, even if the benchmarks say it will.
- In a quickie test, where both systems were running the same rendering
- software on the same image data the SPARC finished in 2.5 hours
- what the 486DX-50 took 36.5 hours to do. The benchmarks said the 486
- should have won by a few minutes, but it lost by a day and a half...
- The 486 was running ISC so it wasn't that it was handicapped by SCO.
-
- And I still want to sell my ISC UNIX...
