White) Organization: Grass Valley Group, Grass Valley, CA Lines: 9 Does anyone have any hard data comparing the VAXstation 3100 (running Ultrix) against the SUN 3/80? SUN is claiming the performance is the same as the VAXstation 3100 but I don't have a 3/80 to compare against our VAXstation. If anyone has done any benchmarks between these two systems I would appreciate any data you may have gathered. -- David White Grass Valley Group, Inc. VOICE: +1 916.478.3052 P.O.

If you were right about the 3200's CPU speed, then the 3100's integer benchmarks would have been faster than the 3200s. maddog Product Manager ULTRIX Worksystems (Who usually gets so much mail he does not have time to read news)
