Really?! I know some guys that are thinking about the Intergraph TDZ
Workstation over the DEC Alpha, do you think it's nor worth it?! I read
somewhere that the TDZ was better than Alpha because it could run everything
and everything would run faster, without any emulations... And LW is cheaper,
because you just need the Intel version.
I also have some benchmarks around... Wait a mo...
TDZ Alpha
Processor 1 P6 300mhz 300mhz
SPECint95 8,09 4,51 well, is that good or bad?!
SPECfp95 6,7 5,7 I don't have a clue about thes tests...
So, I imagine that a dual P6 TDZ workstation is even better, and don't forget
the great OpenGL card that comes with it, has hardware gouraud shading and
texture processing, 12Mb VRAM, 24bits Z buffer, 8Mb texture RAM and a zillion
