The National Software Testing Laboratory did an independent test, sanctioned
by Digital, comparing the Carrera Cobra 275, the Aspen Alpine 275 (on which
our Barnstormer is based), an ALR Pentium90 system and the DeskStation R4600
(on which the Raptor Plus and other Raptors is based). I can have a copy of
this report faxed to you if you reply direct to my email with your fax number.
The net results are that the 275 MHz Alpha systems were twice as fast as the
MIPS R4600-based systems and four times faster than the 90MHz Pentium.
Interestingly enough the Aspen 275 MHz system was shown to be 20% faster
than the Carrera 275 in some floating point operations (due to design
optimizations).
As one of the owners of Flight Technologies, we investigated the marketplace
to determine what motherboard technology we should base our systems on. Our
business objective is to provide the best Windows NT workstations for
animation professionals and we had the freedom to choose whatever
manufacturer we determined to best meet our customer's needs. The Aspen
motherboard clearly provides that, hence it is the basis for our Barnstormer
system.
